Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
»... In this volume of DC tracts, we highlight an exclusive topic outlining chiropractic care for special populations, including distinctive groups such as pregnant women, children, infants and aging adults. Dr. Sarah Kucera opens this issue with a Feature Article that emphasizes the role of chiropractic care for patients with connective tissue diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Marfan’s syndrome. Dr. Carol Ann Weis considers the clinical importance of physical activity during pregnancy and the post-partum period in her Audio Lecture, while Dr. Victoria Bensel discusses a contemporary clinical framework described as trauma-informed care with a specific application in chiropractic practice. In his series of abstracts and commentaries, Dr. Brad Muir further explores special populations with scientific editorials related to women’s health, athletes, and aging populations. Lastly, Dr. Brian Gleberzon (in the first of a two-part series) describes his professional experiences and lessons learned while serving as an expert witness for a court case. I trust that as the reader, you will find this issue of D.C. Tracts both informative and interesting, refining your clinical expertise and patient care. Best Regards,
Bryan M. Bond, DC, MS, PhD
