    Decreasing Trends in Medical Errors Advocating Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

    The evolution of imaging clarity coupled with non-surgical spinal decompression has resulted in better clinical outcomes with less invasive procedures. Now more than ever, Neurosurgeons are looking for advocating Chiropractic Physicians to help them screen and provide treatment with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. Recent research reporting on vertebral-axial decompression as well as FBS and individual satisfaction of surgery has driven the need for chiropractic physicians to increase their diagnostic skills in this area.

    This lecture has been designed to increase the competency of chiropractors through the following steps:

    • Recognize red flag indicators with adding a few steps to the exam.
    • Decipher when an MRI is needed as opposed to X-ray.
    • Identify when non-surgical decompression could be helpful.
    • Creating a proper physician’s review team
    • Relate statistical reports of FBS, vertebral-axial decompression reports, patient satisfaction of surgery when determining with the patient how to proceed.

    Chiropractors often feel isolated in the discussion of mainstream healthcare, believing an equal seat at the healthcare table is far fetched. This class will prove that this isolated thinking is a way of the past, and the future of healthcare depends on integration of chiropractic, and strategic care plan for your patient is now more than ever; yet it is our job to communicate this effectively. We have invited a panel of doctors to illustrate how documentation and record keeping are communication tools that allow us to interact with the allopathic community. Documented results from Gallup Poll #3 will be followed by chiropractors focusing on different areas of interactive success between chiropractors and the medical model, showcasing how the collaborative community has the greatest benefit for patients. If chiropractic is to take a prominent seat at the healthcare table, it will have to do so with research, statistics, an established outlined care of plan as described by the participants in this panel, and in a spirit of cooperation. With the climate of society and ever changing healthcare, the time is NOW!

    A thorough search pattern and evaluation of radiography is especially important for any case. Documentation of your radiological findings is also vital when maintaining accurate records. This case will review a medical-legal case where the doctor’s search pattern and documentation were lacking which ended up missing a vital finding changing the patient’s life forever. Join me for this interesting case study that everyone should remember however sometimes I would like to forget.

    Learning Objectives
    • Understand appropriate documentation of x-ray findings
    • Review search pattern for cervical radiography
    • Understand the appropriate referral recommendations for significant radiological findings
