Did Your Copy of Prevention Include Chiropractic?

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In the June 30 DC,1 we reported on an article in the June 2003 issue of Prevention magazine that espoused the benefits of chiropractic care.2 Unfortunately, more than a few Prevention subscribers were unable to read that article - a point they made clear in phone calls to our office.

DC contacted the offices of Prevention and was informed that subscribers age 55 and older receive a "Master's Edition" of the publication. Apparently, this version does not include several columns present in the "regular" edition sent to younger subscribers and distributed on newsstands. One of those columns is "Gotta Try It" - the very column that featured chiropractic.

While DC could not have reasonably foreseen such a development before going to press, we apologize for any confusion our readers may have experienced. To contact Prevention with comments or questions, call (800) 813-8070 or visit www.prevention.com/magazine.

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic
Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

The chiropractic profession is under a sophisticated and relentless assault from corporate medicine, so strategically executed that most don’t even recognize it happening. The campaign is powerful, calculated, and well-funded, demonstrated by its covert tactics and the millions being invested to carry it out. Corporate medicine's endgame wants only two things from chiropractic: all our patients and all our money – and it is getting it.

Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant
Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic
UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
