From the Director’s Desk
The second month of 2022, and already things are heating up! This issue starts with an article by Drs. Eric & Jason Kaplan and Dr. Perry Bard who feel very passionate about what they view as a non-evidence-supported decision that has infiltrated orthopedic surgeons’ armamentarium for treating back pain, the lumbar spinal fusion. They’ve got some interesting stats and data to support the position, so flip to page 8 now to learn what they’ve discovered in “Stop the Insanity.”
Chiropractic treatment has become synonymous with a quicker recovery in athletic training and performance enhancement. This issue, Dr. Kevin Wong breaks down how exactly the foot is connected to the spine and what this means for the distribution of forces throughout the body. In addition, Dr. Wong, a passionate educator has a quick test to help you, and your patients understand what exactly foot pronation feels like, so flip to page 16 now to read “How Understanding the Foot-Spine Connection Enhances Athletic Performance.
Next, Dr. Ray Foxworth reminds us of an important lesson that you will want to be wary of if you are in your clinic and decide to give patients some free services or not bill for supplies that you may otherwise. Of course, we know you did this out of your service-oriented attitude, but pay attention because you may be providing an inducement. Read what Dr. Foxworth has to say on the topic, beginning on page 30.
