Important Practiced Based Research Update:

The ICPA has launched the largest PBRN in the profession. Our focus is on safety and effectiveness for children and pregnant mothers.

Many thanks to our members who have participated so far. We are complaining preliminary data and will keep you posted.

Important update: if you have been participating --great! keep the data coming! The study runs until November 2007.

If you have not yet jumped on board--please do so now. Our goal is to collect thousands of cases so we can objectively determine safety of care, particularly for our children's PBRN.

This is your opportunity to establish our future practice parameters.

Collaborations:

On your behalf, the ICPA participates in numerous chiropractic conferences internationally. With our attendance, we expose many more chiropractors to our vital mission. Our upcoming collaboration is this fall at New Beginnings in NJ. This dynamic weekend will offer you great practice tips and also provide continuing ed credits. Even more importantly, the ICPA will be sponsoring several sessions and be giving an update on our Children's PBRN preliminary findings.

Neck Ligaments Are Weakened After Auto Collisions

"After years of study, it is clear that the spinal ligaments can be stretched or torn during an auto collision. Previous studies have shown that the anterior longitudinal ligaments, the transverse ligaments, and the facet capsules can be damaged, even in 'minor' crashes.

"The scientific consensus is this: during an auto collision, the individual vertebrae of the spine move so rapidly and so extremely, the ligaments that hold the spine together are sprained.
