Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

We are delighted to share our latest volume of D.C. Tracts, exploring chiropractic management of head/neck pain..

According to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, head/neck complaints are frequently managed by chiropractors. In addition, head/neck complaints are a common source of patient-reported disability and represent a significant cost of healthcare spending in the United States, and across the global community.

In this issue, Dr. Tracey Littrell provides the second in a two-part series describing the clinical application and role of cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) technology. Dr. Littrell reviews a number of developmental anomalies and acquired conditions that may be encountered in a chiropractic practice. Drs. Justin Hildebrand and Brad Muir deliver audio lectures focusing on the assessment of neurological sources of head/neck pain, including cervical radiculopathy, cervical myelopathy, and trigeminal neuralgia. In addition, Dr. Muir presents abstracts and commentaries describing mechanical, neurological and soft-tissue causes of head/neck pain. Dr. Brian Gleberzon outlines part 2 of his Juris-Proofing series discussing the significance of keeping appropriate patient health records.

I trust that as the reader, you will find this issue of D.C. Tracts both informative and interested, refining your clinical expertise and patient services.

Best regards,
