Dear Dynamic Chiropractic:
I write this letter to you because I am thoroughly frustrated with our profession's lack of UNITY! I'm sick and tired of reading (the ACA and ICA) articles about unity in our profession. Fellow DCs ... let's create unity NOW! Stop this nonsense. How hard can it be? It is only as difficult as we make it. Let's pound out an agreement and form one professional association. We all know this is extremely important and I am (along with many others) beyond being frustrated with our lack of unity. ICA + ACA = 1 STRONG and POWERFUL CHIROPRACTIC PROFESSION.
Enough said.

Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
