The Idaho Association of Chiropractic Physicians the IACP News Display Advertising Policy, Rates and Information Prosperity Through Unity Exceptional Care for Idahoans June, 2020 The IACP News, Vol. 4, No. 6 Should chiropractors be using and recommending face masks? Americans are at odds over whether it’s necessary to keep taking coronavirus protective measures, and like all health care providers, doctors of chiropractic are being asked if patients should wear face masks while out in public. Now, a leading researcher says the data is clear: The path ahead in the Covid-19 pandemic is being shaped by masks. “We now have really clear evidence that wearing masks works -- it’s probably a 50% protection against transmission,” said Dr. Chris Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, or IHME, at the University of Washington. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert agrees, and has loudly implored Americans to wear face masks in public. “I want to protect myself and protect others, and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that’s the kind of thing you should be doing,” said Fauci. He said that he believes that while wearing a mask is not “100% effective,” it is a valuable safeguard and shows “respect for another person.” Continued on page 5 RESCHEDULED The IACP Annual Convention November 7-8, 2020 at The Grove Hotel June 2020 | The IACP News | Page 1 I A C P The mission of the Idaho Association of Chiropractic Physicians (IACP) is to act as the unified voice, leader and stalwart supporter of the individual licensed doctors of chiropractic and supporting associates who provide exceptional health care and wellness to the patients and communities of Idaho.

June 2020 | The IACP News | Page 3 President’s Corner We are all adapting and making changes By Dr. Scott Crawford, IACP President Summer is almost here, which means this year is almost halfway gone. It’s been an interesting year to say the least. Although we all want to get back to the way things were, it seems unlikely. In our practices, we have to adapt and make changes. Large healthcare classes can be traded for Zoom calls or Facebook live. Patient appreciation events can be switched out for food or gas cards, raffles, or other patient contests to benefit them and show your appreciation. My point is, we may be forced to make these changes, but they will help us grow and get out of our comfort zone in a good way. Our association has also had to adapt and make changes to our convention. We have rescheduled the 2020 IACP Convention to November 7th & 8th and it will still be at the Grove Hotel in downtown Boise. We will still have innovative presenters, networking opportunities, and important discussions to further the association. The Idaho State Board of Chiropractic will also extend individual CE deadlines on a case-by-case basis. For those who have counted on the Convention in the past for all of your CEs, the rescheduled November convention will also provide all of the hours necessary. So hang in there, make needed changes, and adapt your practice to keep up with the craziness surrounding us. “Join the Pack” Become a member of the IACP The IACP acts as a resource, representative and leading advocate for the chiropractic industry in Idaho. We cannot continue to properly serve the chiropractic profession without the commitment and support of exceptional industry leaders, such as yourself. The IACP Board and its members believe that membership in the Association is and should be mutually beneficial to both the Doctor and the IACP, which makes it a perfect cooperative relationship. As a member, you will have multiple opportunities to obtain learning and marketing opportunities, at a discounted rate, through membership, as well as, have an opportunity to utilize the services of the IACP team and its Board. You will also have an opportunity to get involved in important issues, from the center, along with other industry leaders and spokespeople. At the same time, the Association continues to grow and provide broader services to the industry with your support. Join now and be a part of the “pack” that will lead us into the future!

  • Throm Informed Consent
    THROM HEALTH AND WELLNESS Informed Consent to Chiropractic Treatment Summary of Risks: “Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current literature shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.” - American Chiropractic Association (ACA) Website Specific Risks of Treatment: 1. Generalized Soreness: Chiropractic adjustments and trigger point therapy are occasionally associated with post-treatment soreness. Please let your doctor know if you encounter any soreness. Your doctor may provide at-home icing, heating, stretching, or other instructions; or modify your treatment plan to minimize post-treatment soreness. 2. Soft Tissue Injury: Chiropractic treatment and trigger point therapy are rarely associated with soft tissue injuries such as mild sprains, strains, or bruises. Please let your doctor know if you encounter any of these as they may modify your treatment recommendations. 3. Rib Injury/Fracture: Manual adjustments to the thoracic spine may result in rib injuries on rare occasions, most commonly in patients with low bone density. If you or the doctor feel you are at risk based your health history, x-rays may be taken of the thoracic spine and rib region to assess bone density. Patients with low density may opt for lower-force instrument adjustments (Activator Technique).

Cunningham, BS, DC2 Abstract Objective: The purpose of this case study is to present findings in which a 10-year-old girl received relief from acute constipation and primary nocturnal enuresis as result of chiropractic care. Clinical Features: This is a case study of a 10-year-old girl who presented to a chiropractic clinic for evaluation with a history of four-day constipation and symptoms of nocturnal enuresis. Previous attempts of fecal disimpaction with the use of probiotics, castor oil and flax seeds were unsuccessful. Intervention and Outcomes: A pediatric patient received subluxation based chiropractic care using Thompson technique protocol that resolved the symptoms of acute constipation and primary nocturnal enuresis. Thompson leg checks were used to determine the area of aberrant biomechanics. Improvement was seen within an hour of reducing cervical and ilium subluxations. On the third visit the mother of the patient revealed that a life time of nocturnal bedwetting three to four times a week had been resolved following her initial chiropractic evaluation and adjustment. Conclusion: This case study provides support that chiropractic care may be beneficial in the management of constipation and nocturnal enuresis. Keywords: Bedwetting, Constipation, Chiropractic, Enuresis, Subluxation, Thompson technique, Adjustment, Spinal manipulation Introduction There are very few benign conditions that are as distressing as constipation includes delayed colonic transit and dysfunction defecation disorders.1 Defecation disorders are a group of of the pelvic floor muscles.3 The prevalence of functional functional and anatomical abnormalities of the anorectum that constipation in children ranges from 4-36%.

J Neurol Surg Rep 2016;77:e162–e167. Abstract Background Despite widespread utilization of chiropractic treatment for various ailments, there is a paucity of documentation regarding intracerebral hemorrhage related to chiropractic trauma. Stroke has been reported from cervical manipulation, although with a suggested low incidence. Activator treatment, an instrument that produces a high-velocity, low-amplitude impact to the spine, is considered especially safe. There are no prior reports of intracerebral hemorrhage resulting from a chiroprac- tic activator treatment. Case Description A 75-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a history of headaches, visual difficulties on the right, and speech disturbance of relatively acute onset. CT scan showed a brain hemorrhage in an unusual location. Extensive evaluation was undertaken because this was thought to be a spontaneous event. No cause was found on imaging. Subsequent history revealed a chiropractic activator treatment Keywords applied directly to the junction of the back of her head and the upper cervical spine ► activator immediately prior to the onset of symptoms.

Paxton D.C.1 & Michael Oppelt D.C.2 ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study is to discuss the positive health outcomes following chiropractic in a woman suffering from temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Clinical Features: 36 year old female presented with chronic TMJ pain aggravated by movement, sleeping, and straining. The pain began several years prior following trauma. Examination revealed postural distortions and spinal subluxations. Intervention & Outcome: Quantum Spinal Mechanics3 technique was utilized. The patient’s posture was restored and as a result she experienced resolution of her TMD pain after the first QSM3 treatment. She has not had a reoccurrence of the pain in the several months of ongoing QSM3 care that followed to maintain and stabilize her correction. Conclusion: This case suggests the need for more research in utilizing conservative chiropractic care to manage TMD by correcting postural breakdown and subluxation with QSM3.

    The Internet Journal of Neurology ISPUB.COM Volume 19 Number 1 Neurological Change According To Resting Pulse Rate Following Chiropractic Care: A Case Series J Hart Citation J Hart. Neurological Change According To Resting Pulse Rate Following Chiropractic Care: A Case Series. The Internet Journal of Neurology. 2016 Volume 19 Number 1. DOI: 10.5580/IJN.41669 Abstract Introduction: This report describes a method of determining what type of general neurological changes have occurred, if any, following chiropractic care according to resting pulse rate (RPR) in individual patients. The method may be of interest to chiropractors and other clinicians who have a neurological focus in their practices. Methods: Multiple pre-adjustment RPR measurements were compared to multiple post-adjustment RPR measurements on an individual patient basis using t test and effect size statistics. Results: In two of the five patients, a statistically significant decrease (improvement) was observed in mean post-adjustment RPR compared to mean pre-adjustment RPR (p < 0.02), with large effect sizes (of approximately 1.2). In the other three patients, mean post RPR was essentially unchanged according to their t test p-values. Conclusion: According to the method used in this study, general neurological function improved in two of the five patients, evidenced by the statistically significant decrease in RPR, along with large effect sizes. Further study using other chiropractic techniques, and with other patients is indicated. INTRODUCTION Another measure that is potentially useful in neurologically- Chiropractic care focused practices, e.g., in subluxation-centered chiropractic, is resting heart rate, also known as resting pulse rate when In subluxation-centered chiropractic care, the objective is to obtained by manual palpation of a peripheral artery.
