Research:

A recent paper published by the ICA Pediatric Council has stirred commentary from some of the leading experts in chiropractic pediatrics.

A Glitch in the Matrix
by Claudia Anrig, DC

Several weeks ago, Joan Fallon, DC, of the International Chiropractors Association's Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics, released a disturbing paper in the council's Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics, titled, "The Child Patient: A Matrix for Chiropractic Care."

The author of the paper is an individual in our profession who has been admired by many for her previous contributions with regard to chiropractic care for the child and pregnant woman. Her supplement paper, however, has raised deep concerns from a majority of chiropractic family wellness academies, leaders and practitioners in the profession at large. As written, this paper attempts to introduce practice guidelines for the pediatric population that seem to serve the insurance industry, rather than the practicing chiropractor.

Upon reading this paper, members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (the oldest and largest chiropractic pediatric organization, separate and distinct from the ICA and its pediatric council) voiced their concerns and requested a written review of the paper from the profession's pediatric authorities. Several leaders in the chiropractic pediatric community also provided written responses, including Anthony Carrino, DC, president of the ICPA; Liz Anderson-Peacock, DC, diplomate of the ICA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics; Michael Perusich, DC, FICPA, vice president of the ACA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics; and Joel Alcantara, DC, research director of the ICPA..

Speaking of Pathways

I am looking for pictures for Pathways-- particularly pictures of babies, kids and pregnant women getting adjusted. Electronic submission is easiest and they can be sent right to my e-mail address: info@icpa4kids.com

I will also need release forms from the parents that these will be published in upcoming Pathways. Releases can be faxed to 610 5653567

Also, patient testimonials are a great asset in Pathways allowing parents to read about chiropractic from a parent's perspective. They, too can be sent to the above e-mail address.

Thx much!

Many Blessings,
