Chiropractical NCMIC

Opioids are the biggest crisis facing healthcare today, and chiropractors have an important role to play. On this episode of Chiropractical, we're going to take a fresh look and have some new thinking on the topic from Dr. Tim Bertelsman. 

Many young, healthy doctors feel life insurance is not something they need right now. We look at why you may want to reconsider.

Hiring post-COVID is a whole different animal. We talk to Dr. Mark Sanna about how to find & keep great chiropractic employees in this new world. And in our Ask NCMIC segment, Mike Whitmer answers a question about standardized informed consent forms.

Your job as a DC goes way further than spinal health – but chiropractors aren’t trained to treat mental health. So, what do you do when you have concerns about your chiropractic patient’s state of mind? Dr. Kristina Petroco-Napoli talks about red flags, how to ask the right questions, and when to refer out.  

Dr. Petrocco-Napuli is the President of the ACA Council on Women's Health. Recently, in recognition of her service to the profession, she was elected a Fellow in the International College of Chiropractors.

For many years, Dr. Petrocco-Napuli has focused on the integration of practitioners in the patient-centered model of care and evaluating methods of effectively working on a team of healthcare professionals. This interest began many years ago while on an internship at the Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital Chiropractic Clinic and has been reinforced by her involvement on multiple grant projects regarding the training of healthcare providers in inter-collaborative care.
