If you are reading this article, I suspect you are a chiropractor currently treating patients with back pain, neck pain, and/or headaches. You may be caring for patients with neck pain following a motor-vehicle incident. Most likely, these patients have been whiplashed and are presenting with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), including spinal sprains and strains, spinal joint dysfunction, cervical radiculopathy, or even worse, cervical disc herniations.
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.
