Former Logan University President Dr. George Goodman Dies at 70

Logan's sixth and longest-serving president, George Goodman, DC, passed away on Sept. 9, 2014. He was 70 years old.

A 1968 graduate, Dr. Goodman's career at Logan spanned 45 years and included teaching and the development of the University's postgraduate department. After spending 10 years as vice president of chiropractic affairs, Dr. Goodman assumed the role of University President, what he called one of the greatest roles of his professional life.

Under his leadership, Logan reached debt-free status and enrollment exceeded the 1,000 mark for the first time in Logan's history. Evidence of Dr. Goodman's vision and leadership abounds on the Logan campus with the William M. Harris, DC, Sports and Wellness Center; the renovated Learning Resources Center; the William D. Purser, DC, Center; Standard Process Student Center; and a new educational wing.

"The passing of Dr. Goodman is a huge loss to Logan and the chiropractic profession," said current Logan University President Clay McDonald, DC, MBA, JD. "We send our condolences, prayers and gratitude for his contributions to his family."

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.
