Palmer Inaugurates Fourth Chancellor During Historic Ceremony

With due ceremony, complete with pomp, circumstance and remarks from dignitaries, Palmer College of Chiropractic inaugurated its fourth chancellor, Dennis Marchiori, DC, PhD, on March 11, 2010, in the auditorium of Vickie Anne Palmer Hall on Palmer's main campus in Davenport, Iowa.

Dr. Marchiori's eloquent inaugural speech inspired the audience, which included about 500 people in the auditorium, plus faculty, staff and students watching via a live feed from Palmer's west campus in San Jose, Calif., and the Florida campus in Port Orange, Fla. Guests included chiropractic college presidents, leaders of area colleges, Quad-City community leaders, family and friends of Dr. Marchiori, Palmer Board of Trustees members, and of course, faculty, staff and students from Palmer College's Davenport campus.

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.
