I’m not sure how many chiropractic schools teach extremity adjusting (ankles, wrists, elbows, shoulders), but if you do extremity work, then you will love our Shoulder Girdle Page.
The page starts with scholarly papers by Richard Schafer, D.C. on managing shoulder and joint trauma. It also contains several other FULL-TEXT papers on shoulder management. I hope you will find this material of interest!
Dr. Richard C. Schafer, DC, PhD, FICC gave us permission back in 1998 to reproduce a series of his rehabilitation Monographs on our website.
Dr. Schafer is the most-published chiropractic author, and his textbooks were best sellers through the 80s and 90s. RC was the first DC author to be picked up by a medical publisher (Williams & Wilkins), and his books made millions for the ACA.
Enjoy the rest of Dr. Schafer’s Monographs at:
Do you provide rehabilitation in your practice? If so, you may find the Chiropractic Rehabilitation Diplomate Information Page of interest.
The Rehab Page contains free materials from the leaders in chiropractic rehab, many useful articles, and also links to other rehab websites of value. Drop in for a look-see. (more…)
We here at Chiro.org take great pride in providing current, updated and accurate information for chiropractors. In this the latest of my posts about fake journal articles being uncovered, I provide further evidence that what you see, not only on the web but also in “scientific” journals, my not be all it is presented to be. Great care is an absolute MUST when obtaining information, period, no matter what the source of that information! So to borrow a phase from the only TV Series, Hill Street Blues, “Hey! Hey! Hey! Be careful out there!”
Here at 2 more posts from The Scientist blog reporting, yet more, fake journal news:
Do you use Outcome Assessment in your practice? Patient improvement, documented with pre- and post- scoring on questionnaires (QAs) like the Neck Disability Index, or the SF-36, are indisputable evidence of medical necessity and patient progress.
Our Outcome Assessment Page contains, or links to, many of the most supported QAs. They are especially helpful in PI or WC claims, when your files are closely scrutinized. (more…)

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – June 5, 2009) – The Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology), today announced more than $350,000 in infrastructure funding for the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.
The funding is being provided through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, a two-year, $2-billion program designed to repair and expand research and educational facilities at Canadian colleges and universities. The program is helping to provide economic stimulus and promote employment by creating jobs for engineers, architects, tradespeople and technicians.
“This Government of Canada investment will provide a significant economic stimulus to the region,” said Minister of State Goodyear. “Our government is investing in innovation to create jobs, to help our economy recover quickly and to improve the quality of life of Canadians.”
Together with funding from the College itself, the investment for infrastructure projects at the College totals more than $1.2 million.
Canada’s Economic Action Plan sets out to stimulate the Canadian economy over the next two years and to improve our long-term competitiveness through $12 billion in new infrastructure investment, which includes the $2-billion Knowledge Infrastructure Program. This new support is the next substantive investment in the Government of Canada’s multi-year Science and Technology Strategy, Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada’s Advantage.
