Foot Levelers Gives $23,000 to COCSA to Support State Associations

As part of its continuing commitment to the chiropractic profession, Foot Levelers, Inc., recently donated $23,000 to the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA). This donation will support the COCSA mission "to provide an open, non-partisan forum for the promotion and advancement of the chiropractic profession through service to member state associations."

"Without the kindness and generosity of sponsors, it would be nearly impossible for volunteer organizations, like the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations, to provide the vital services to our member states and to fill the COCSA mission," said COCSA President Dr. Jeff Fedorko. "It is with great appreciation we accept the financial gift from Foot Levelers."

"We are honored to support of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations," said Foot Levelers President and CEO Kent S. Greenawalt. "COCSA provides an opportunity for state associations to work together and learn from each other, and Foot Levelers is proud to contribute to this effort."

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

The New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners has made a precedential decision, concurring with the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors' (ANJC) position paper on chiropractic X-ray guidelines. In plain terms, the board ruled, consistent with the ANJC position, that insurance companies cannot use medical X-ray rules or recommendations, like those written by the American College of Radiology (ACR), to decide whether a chiropractor's X-ray was necessary.

The Relationship Behind the Referral
The Relationship Behind the Referral

For decades, chiropractors have been told the answer to more professional referrals is simple: educate medical doctors about chiropractic. There is some truth in that advice; but it is also incomplete. The modern challenge is not simply getting another healthcare professional to know that chiropractors exist. It is becoming the kind of clinician (and building the kind of professional relationship) that makes collaboration easy and sustainable.
