WFC, FCLB Establish Joint Committee

In response to the inherent regulatory challenges created by chiropractors' increasing mobility worldwide, the World Federation of Chiropractic and the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards have established a joint committee with several primary goals, including encouraging regulatory boards around the world to participate on a wider scale in the development and use of CIN-BAD, the Chiropractic Information Network - Board Action Databank; and promoting legislation that provides proper regulatory framework, particularly in countries where chiropractic lacks the strength of law. The committee is meeting with national regulatory board reps on April 29.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver
Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
