First Chiropractic Clinical Residency at a VA Health Facility

New York Chiropractic College has announced the establishment of an integrated care chiropractic residency program, the first such program to be located at a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facility. Instruction will prepare the college's chiropractic clinical residents regarding optimal management of patients presenting a diversity of musculoskeletal disorders. NYCC had previously been running several academic and research programs at the Canandaigua, N.Y. VA site.

"The new groundbreaking VA residency program significantly complements the College's existing offerings there," said Executive Vice President and Provost, Dr. Michael Mestan. Residents' duties will include working alongside the VA system's established providers and will include rotations with various specialists in neurology, orthopedics, physiatry, pain management, primary care and physical therapy.

"NYCC is proud to be a leader in instructing chiropractors who will be caring for our nation's veterans," Mestan added.

Best Practices for Handling Refund Requests
Handling Refund Requests

Refund requests are an unavoidable part of running a chiropractic practice. Whether a patient is unhappy with their care, believes an adjustment caused harm, or simply changes their mind, these situations must be handled carefully to avoid escalation. While chiropractors are not legally obligated to issue refunds in most cases, there are times when doing so is the best business decision to protect the practice.

Don't Forget the Iliacus
Don't Forget the Iliacus

Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
