Time to Teach: CCGPP Offers First Course Based on Literature Syntheses

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

"Chiropractic Management of Low Back Disorders - Evidence-Based Documentation," the first in a series of classes based on the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters' published literature syntheses, is available online through Northwestern Health Sciences University. According to the CCGPP, the low-back course (and subsequent courses covering other chapters of the council's Clinical Compass) is part of the ongoing Dissemination, Implementation, Evaluation and Review (DIER) process, intended to "help educate and familiarize practicing doctors of chiropractic with the available evidence and its utilization in record-keeping to substantiate and, when necessary, defend appropriate case management."

Wayne Bennett, DC, DABCO, DABCC, hosts the online course, which costs $30 and is approved for one hour of continuing education. To register, visit www.nwhealth.edu and click on the "Online Learning" button.

Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again
Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again

New York's highest court of appeals has held that no-fault insurers cannot deny no-fault benefits where they unilaterally determine that a provider has committed misconduct based upon alleged fraudulent conduct. The Court held that this authority belongs solely to state regulators, specifically New York's Board of Regents, which oversees professional licensing and discipline. This follows a similar recent ruling in Florida reported in this publication.

Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs
Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs

Keeping our eyes smoothly focused while moving is no simple task because even the simple act of running produces head velocities in excess of 550° per second with head accelerations up to 6,000° per second. Failure to properly stabilize our eyes to compensate for rapid head motion could allow our eyes to over- or undershoot specific targets, which can result in blurred vision, nausea, impaired balance, and a greatly increased risk of falling.
