The members of the Connecticut Chiropractic Association approved a resolution at their Fall Conference and Annual Membership Meeting to support the efforts of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), pledging two years of financial support.
Kent Greenawalt, president/CEO of Foot Levelers, started the foundation in 2003 to address the need for a sustained national advertising and public relations campaign (See "Campaign for Chiropractic Gaining Momentum," Dynamic Chiropractic, June 4, 2005: www.chiroweb.com/archives/23/12/07.html). Since then, the foundation has established a board of directors and is gaining ground as more chiropractors, schools and associations sign on to support the campaign.
"The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress is the only national program that succeeds to promote the profession in a positive public image and is directed towards the potential chiropractic patient," said CCA President, Dr. Matt Pagano. "The Connecticut Chiropractic Association is moving in a direction of consumer driven education and feels that the work of the Foundation compliments the Connecticut Chiropractic Association's efforts to educate the public and unites the goals of chiropractors throughout the country to promote health through chiropractic."
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.
