Standard Process President Awarded Honorary Fellowship in ICC

Frank J. Nicchi, DC, FICC (president of New York Chiropractic College), presented Standard Process President Charles DuBois with an honorary fellowship in the International College of Chiropractors (ICC) at the Standard Process reception, held during the Florida Chiropractic Association's national conference in Orlando, Fla. ICC President Kenneth W. Padgett, DC, FICC, and the ICC Secretary, Richard Brassard, DC, FICC (president of Texas Chiropractic College), were also in attendance.

The ICC fellowship is an "Order of Merit, Service and Fellowship" incorporated in 1938 to promote the philosophy, science and art of chiropractic and the teaching and the study of chiropractic. The ICC bestows its fellow designation to individuals whose contributions significantly impact the science of chiropractic, and who render valuable and meritorious service to the profession. Charles DuBois, through Standard Process, has long supported chiropractic education – contributing financial support to educational institutions and over $69,000 in scholarships in 2011 to chiropractic students.

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.

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.
