To work within the larger health care community there needs to be a middle ground approach taken. There needs to be some unity and continuity between chiropractors. There needs to be better communication and networking between chiropractors and medical doctors. You cannot take a fringe approach and expect to work within the system. Most important, chiropractors need to act as health care professionals.
Chiropractors protect their territory.
They have been taught in chiropractic school, marketing seminars and professional organizations about what they need to do to bring in additional business. Many other things they have been taught are just not acceptable in this new era. The chiropractic profession has been slow to change. The best way for both the medical community as well as the chiropractic community to be successful with insurance work is to provide quality care in a reasonable manner. If what the doctor is doing is not working, refer the patient to someone else who can be of some help.
