The aim of this study was to determine the factors likely to influence parents or guardians when seeking chiropractic care for their children.An anonymous questionnaire was sent via the head teachers of 8 primary schools in a typical UK county to the parents/guardians of children aged 5–11 who were attending the schools.Of 987 questionnaires distributed, 259 were returned with 175 eligible for inclusion within the study (26% response rate). Healthcare choices for children were mostly made by mothers. Parents/guardians who already used complementary medicine (CAM), incl...

Personally, I was buying a rail ticket to London for the official launch of the College of Chiropractors, which was due to take place in four days time. It was the result of four years of planning and hard work, following the passing of the Chiropractors’ Act: if chiropractic in the UK was to have a statutory regulatory body, it should follow the path of the other medically regulated professions and have a Royal College, distinct from the professional associations that would henceforth focus more on representing the interests of practitioners.

This has been mirrored by a shift from so-called passive treatments which were done to a patient (e.g. ultrasound and traction) to active ones where the patient is encouraged to play a role in their own recovery.Rehabilitation is a popular treatment option increasingly utilised by all major professions involved with musculoskeletal injury. Guidelines exist from several international bodies providing statements on rehabilitation and yet the evidence for its effectiveness appears week.There does not appear to be much advantage for patients with a first episode of short duration back pain ...

If evidence-based practice is ever to work then research findings must be given in a way that they can be applied to an individual patient, and clinicians will have to be able to interpret and use them accordingly. This is the third article in an occasional series to help clinicians in this task. It covers the paramount importance of researchers measuring simple outcomes, whether from a treatment or from a diagnostic test, and analysing them in such a way that a clinician can make sense of them for an individual patient.

The ability of older persons to remain independent has a profound influence on the perceived quality of life and the costs incurred for assistance.

When the data from a previous study were initially examined what appeared to be a significantly high number of the children (57%) demonstrated convergence failure on testing. The data were then sorted and convergence failure related to the primary diagnosis, comorbidity patterns and other neurological findings. The conclusion based on this relatively small case series would suggest that a high percentage of children have convergence failure – in association with the primary condition – which can be effectively monitored using a computer generated program and efficiently treated by a combination of cerebe...

Issues such as this have both positive and negative sides dependent on whether you are discussing it inside or outside the profession (for an example of an external view of a similar issue see ). However, viewing something from a different standpoint, i.e., by personalising the issue, can often help people realise the implications they otherwise would not have considered. From this perspective, as at sometime or another many of the readers of this article will become a patient, this point of reference will be used here, initially.
