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.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
