"Chiropractic Management of Low Back Disorders - Evidence-Based Documentation," the first in a series of classes based on the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters' published literature syntheses, is available online through Northwestern Health Sciences University. According to the CCGPP, the low-back course (and subsequent courses covering other chapters of the council's Clinical Compass) is part of the ongoing Dissemination, Implementation, Evaluation and Review (DIER) process, intended to "help educate and familiarize practicing doctors of chiropractic with the available evidence and its utilization in record-keeping to substantiate and, when necessary, defend appropriate case management."

Wayne Bennett, DC, DABCO, DABCC, hosts the online course, which costs $30 and is approved for one hour of continuing education. To register, visit www.nwhealth.edu and click on the "Online Learning" button.

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
