Patient Questionnaire

This document is our version of the (somewhat) standard questionnaire used by all healthcare providers. But it is formatted specifically for chiropractors. The questionnaire published by the supply companies is too general in nature and does not (in our opinion) ask some questions that are very important to the chiropractor. The publishers have proved to be reluctant to change the ones they sell. For that reason, we make these available for free. We also welcome are suggestions for change and improvement. The 'Patient Questionnaire' document contains both the 'patient/insurance information' and the 'history/questions' pages. The 'Patient History' contains the 'history/questions' pages only. We did this so that you could use only the history part, if that should prove enough for you. Download/View

Sample Letter to Colleges

For many DCs, not much in the way of training separates you from an MD license. If your colleges would add pharmacology, surgery and residency to their curriculum, they could graduate MDs with a specialty in Chiropractic. A similar program could bring PTs, Optitians, etc. to the same level. What an elegant way to solve all the inequity barriers raised by the payers, AMA, Medicare, etc. and at the same time solve the 200,000 doctor shortfall in the US today.

The charge may be made that DCs, in doing this, are joining the enemy. How so? Did you choose this profession because you hated doctors? Or because of preference in how you wanted to help people who are hurting? Your available choices in how to help patients becomes unrestricted with a General Practice license and the payers will have to treat you the same as the brain surgeon in the city. You are already very close to that goal and your college can get you there with just a little effort! Specialization into any area will be as simple as ongoing education. The colleges are the best and most logical way forward.

The ongoing financial crunch is forcing most chiropractors to recognize that the current approach no longer works, and the traditional (allopathic) model will not educate you in natuarl healing. Here is a sample letter to jump-start your thinking on moving your college in that direction: Download/View
