Editor’s Note | Our business is to find options and possibilities for your consideration. We don’t advocate for any particular style of practice, because that’s always your decision. Still, you need to be armed with solid information about technique, the latest research, new technology, and best business practices.

Feature | Creating an integrated practice that combines the healthcare modalities offered by a chiropractor and a medical doctor is not a decision to be made lightly. Not only is there considerable expense and financial risk involved but building a successful model means drastic changes in how you run your practice and deliver care.

In Focus | The National by FCA has quietly become the “largest chiropractic continuing education and business event—as well as the largest exposition—in chiropractic worldwide.”

Clinical Concerns | Provide patients with effective pain treatment and relief. Natural ingredients can work as well as prescription medications—causing side benefits (including lowered cancer and Alzheimer’s risk) instead of side effects.

Practice Central | The interoperability of software and technological devices is a hot-button issue in medical practices today, because of the health information exchange (HIE) requirements of Stage 2 of the meaningful-use (MU) electronic health record (EHR) program.
