It's amazing what happens when a group of people get together to focus on a common problem. As participants each contribute their ideas, the challenge becomes better defined. Ultimately, a synthesis of the best ideas emerges as the solution. This is precisely the concept behind our newest publication, Dynamic Chiropractic PracticeINSIGHTS.
Most of the challenges of practice are shared by the majority of doctors. But instead of being isolated, limited to your own solutions, you will soon be provided with a wealth of information from colleagues and experts. Every article in DC PracticeINSIGHTS is designed to address issues that are holding you back from having the practice you always intended and that you - and your patients - deserve.
Launching in January 2010, DC PracticeINSIGHTS is a print magazine and online information platform containing unbiased editorial content aimed at helping doctors of chiropractic make smart decisions that will help them grow and enhance their practices. It will contain ideas, tips, tools, how to's and information aimed at providing you with the best ideas for success from across the profession. In addition to special features, every issue of DC PracticeINSIGHTS will include the following:
As you can see, much of the important information we will be sharing in the pages of DC PracticeINSIGHTS will come from you, the practicing doctor who faces many challenges and proves what works in actual practice with real patients. You may take some of your ideas for granted, but they could be the key to greater success for other DCs.
Needless to say, the more we all get involved, the better the ideas and solutions, and the more we can help each other be successful. And as your practice becomes more successful, chiropractic is better able to reach more people in need. I encourage you to get involved and participate in providing your ideas and opinions in our surveys (Vantage Point) and Solutions, you can do so electronically by providing your contact information to us. If you have some great ideas that you would like to share with the profession on specific challenges (including ways to overcome those challenges and in so doing, make practice more successful), please e-mail your ideas to dcpifeedback@mpamedia.com.
Please take the time to get involved. We need everyone's ideas to make our profession and each individual chiropractic practice as strong and successful as it can be. Thank you in advance for joining our forum for success.
DC PracticeINSIGHTS will be mailed to approximately 40,000 chiropractic offices in the United States monthly in print and is available to the entire profession online. You can subscribe to receive the print version through the mail at: www.dynamicchiropractic.com/DCPIsubscription.
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.
