NPCO to Field Team in 2012 Los Angeles Marathon

The Non-Profit Chiropractic Organization (NPCO) is excited to announce its participation in the 2012 Honda LA Marathon, being held on Sunday, March 18 in Los Angeles. Registration for this world-famous race opened Aug. 1 and NPCO is currently in the process of recruiting runners to be part of its inaugural team.

Including this year, NPCO has successfully fielded a team of runners to run on the behalf of chiropractic health care in the Chicago Marathon for the last three years. By adding the LA Marathon to the Team NPCO event schedule, NPCO hopes to have a great group of people represent chiropractic health care in one of the greatest marathons in the world.

The 26.2-mile LA Marathon course takes runners through many iconic landmarks in Los Angeles, beginning at the historic Dodger Stadium, winding through famous Hollywood landmarks, Beverly Hills and ultimately ending near the Santa Monica Pier.

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.
