GREELEY, Colorado -- The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) has extended the deadline for its study of chiropractic practice to November 15th. Chiropractors selected to complete a questionnaire concerning their practices are encouraged to complete the survey as soon as possible and return it to the NBCE.
The current survey is an update of the the NBCE's 1991 Job Analysis of Chiropractic. The new survey will seek to gauge the impact of managed care on chiropractic practice. This survey, like the 1991 compendium of information, will be a major reference document on chiropractic.
If you have received a questionnaire and have any questions concerning the completion of the survey form, contact Martin Kollasch, DC at 1-800-964-6223, ext. 337.
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.
