Treating Complex Multilayered Cases, Part 2
In the October 2009 issue of Acupuncture Today, I wrote on how to use pulse diagnosis to distinguish patterns as excess, deficiency or complex excess with deficiency. I ended that article by saying that most complex layered cases that enter the clinic will show excess/deficiency patterns affecting the liver, stomach and spleen. Our job, as herbalists, is to evaluate the various stagnation and deficiency patterns and to apply the appropriate herbal formula.

Order in the Court
I have spent a considerable amount of time in courtrooms lately at trials of chiropractors accused of negligence.

Posture Evaluations, Part 1
When performing a posture assessment, be as accurate as you can and keep chart notes to make your posture evaluation a reproducible measurement. Posture evaluations become an objective measurement that can drive treatment decisions.

We Get Letters & E-Mail
Chiro-Spam: Reflecting Poorly on Our Profession. We are certain that everyone in the chiropractic profession is barraged by spam - useless and intrusive e-mail. Everyone with an e-mail address likely receives offers for cheap drugs, get-rich-quick schemes, sex-oriented advertisements, and other garbage.

Violence and Stereotypes
It had been a long time and was always unnerving. Two counselors and I had our lives threatened. Actually, the person we were dealing with threatened to "take out" anyone who got in his way, staff or client. As he put it, "We all gonna be on the news."

A Billion Dollar Opportunity for Chiropractors
Truck driver exams, Department of Transportation (DOT) and non-DOT alcohol and drug testing are the vehicle for all chiropractic physicians to significantly increase their income and fill open appointments. The chiropractic profession has a significant competitive edge over all other providers.

First Professional Doctorate: Revolution or Schism?
As a senior acupuncturist, I often ask the question, "What is the benefit of the first professional doctorate (FPD) and, in truth, who will benefit from this degree?" Or for that matter who needs it? I know that I don't need it; I need insurance companies to handle my charges more than I need a FPD.

Ultimate Low Back Pain Acupuncture Formula
Low back (lumbar) pain has been reported to be one of the most common conditions for which millions of sufferers worldwide seek medical attention. It has numerous causes and can never be lumped into one specific category. The same is true for treatment.

Vendors Continue Financial Support of the Foundation
Four chiropractic vendors - Erchonia Medical, ScripHessco, Chiro One Wellness Centers, and Tempur-Pedic International - have pledged financial support to the FCP, continuing the corporate support enjoyed by the FCP as it increases awareness of chiropractic and its health benefits.
