NBCE Contributes Grant in Support of Foundation for Chiropractic Progress

The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) is pleased to recognize the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) for its grant in support of the F4CP positive press campaign. The generous contribution will bring attention to the advantages of chiropractic education via press materials.

"We are excited to partner with the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and the Association of Chiropractic Colleges to promote chiropractic as a career choice," said Dr. Norman Ouzts, president of the NBCE. "Our future is dependent upon new people entering our profession."

Grateful to have gained the support of the NBCE, Kent S. Greenawalt, chairman, F4CP, stated: "Similar to the F4CP, the NBCE is dedicated to adherence of the highest standards in advancing the chiropractic profession. I am thrilled that the organization has elected to support our campaign -- and hopeful that others will follow its lead and invest in the future of chiropractic."

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.
