Lumbar and Cervical Radiculopathy and Radiating Pain: Applying Clinical Reasoning in Spine Pain® (CRISP®) in a Busy Clinical Environment
Dr. Donald Murphy and Dr. Geoffrey Bove are New England chiropractors who spun their clinical observations into highly productive parallel careers in research. This spring, for the first time, they will combine their expansive knowledge of spine-related pain and dysfunction, from neurophysiology to biomechanics and from basic science to clinical application.
Dr. Donald MurphyDr. Murphy combines patient care with clinical research and teaching in both Chiropractic and Medicine. He serves as a Primary Spine Practitioner at Brown University Health as well as Assistant Professor at Alpert Medical School of Brown University. When Dr. Murphy became a chiropractor, he noted that classes taught a bunch of examination procedures, and a bunch of treatment strategies, but never connected the dots on how to connect that information for the best patient outcomes. He is well known for his books “Clinical Reasoning in Spine Pain,” which outline a flexible, individualized approach to acute and chronic spine conditions. He says that “Murphy’s Law” means that the better outcomes you get with your spine patients, the more local medical offices send you every type of patient imaginable. He has taught all manner of students for NY Chiropractic College, Brown University, and University of Pittsburgh, as well as speaking globally. (more…)
We hope you’ll join us in Manchester on October 28th for our 2023 Fall Seminar with Dr. Brian Jensen!
About the Event:
With a greater understanding of how the nervous system works and responds to our environment, we can now improve patient outcomes by making predictable changes to pain, postural integrity, balance and functional movement.
Dr. Jensen will cover neuroplasticity and its application to chiropractic, the adaptive nervous system, and the physiology of stress. He will also address neuro biomechanical efficiency including gait and foot assessment, posture evaluation, functional movement assessment, movement disorders, and soft tissue treatment.
About Dr. Jensen:
Dr Brian Jensen was introduced to Chiropractic at age 15 when he received treatment for sports injuries. Based on the success of that treatment, he chose to attend Palmer Chiropractic College where he graduated in 1987. Dr Jensen’s personal experience with Chiropractic care has led him over the past 30 years to develop strategies for staying healthy, not merely addressing temporary aches and pains. “Staying healthy is a proactive process, doing the right things as part of a healthy life style. ” With that in mind, Dr Jensen has incorporated a combination of the latest technological advances with simple, common sense tools that assist patients in achieving and maintaining their health goals.
Dr. Jensen served as the Associate Director of Education and Research at Foot Levelers Inc., between 2006 and 2010 and is currently in full time practice in Roanoke VA. He has shared his experience in continuing education seminars over the past 15 years in the US and abroad.

We hear from chiropractors often that they have patients who, due to insurance limitations, are unable to continue receiving the care that helps their chronic pain or must ration visits at the cost of their health. HB 303 would require insurers to cover a minimum of 20 chiropractic visits per year, along with other nonpharmacological pain management services like physical therapy, massage therapy, and acupuncture. On Wednesday, NHCA Board members Dr. Daniel Parent and Dr. James Pamplin provided verbal testimony to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee in support of this legislation. We want to thank all of the New Hampshire DCs who have taken the time to submit written testimony!
If you have not had a chance to show your support yet, there is still time to contact the committee before its members vote to decide whether this bill will move forward. To send your testimony to the full committee, email HouseCommerceCommittee@leg.state.nh.us. You can use

Dr. Greer was first introduced to chiropractic as a patient after an injury she sustained during a horseback riding accident, an experience that made her decide that she wanted to provide others with the same pain relief she received from care.

In addition to the ordinary course of study, Dr. Greer enrolled in elective chiropractic technique courses while at Palmer inclusive of Sacro-Occipital Technique, Thompson, Activator, and Advanced Soft Tissue. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with an award for Academic Excellence in June of 2018. Dr. Greer has a passion for approaching each patient as a whole and incorporates personalized nutrition, exercise, and activities of daily living counseling and soft tissue work in addition to chiropractic care.

NHCA Legislative Chair Mark Stagnone, DC testifies in front of the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee in support of HB 247 in February 2022.
Over the past year, the NHCA has done work on behalf of the profession that we’re proud of. The association:
This year, we continue to advocate on legislation impacting the profession and plan exciting continuing education opportunities, both virtual and in-person. We are gathering information from New Hampshire chiropractors to address Anthem payment delays, and anticipate that the NHCA will be represented as a stakeholder in a state-commissioned study on minimum chiropractic insurance coverage by commercial insurance plans.
This work is made possible by our members across the state. To continue and expand our efforts, we need your support.
