Puglisi and Cerf spoke of the success of the Meadowlands Hospital program and how this model could be replicated and developed in other hospitals such as TUMC in Ohio.

**Canadian Chiropractors meet in USA to discuss Hospital Privileges and M.U.A.
It was a very productive meeting for all the medical and chiropractic professionals that exchanged ideas to help treat patients in chronic pain.
Dr David Dos Santos and Dr John Pikula, both chiropractors from Toronto and Ontario traveled over 3 hours by car to meet with Dr Joseph D. Salamone, NJ, a pioneer in the field of hospital chiropractic and Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or M.U.A..
"Just a short note to thank you for your invitation to observe MUA's and hospitality you demonstrated to Dr. Pikula and I. The day was very educational and well worth the drive from Toronto. I would like to try to have your group come up to Toronto at some point, and educate some of our hospital people about the Department of Chiropractic in your hospital. I would also like to consider having you come up and speak to those chiropractors in the Toronto area who are already working in hospitals, and your experiences."
It is now time to start focusing on patient care and teaming up with a group of medical professionals to address chronic pain.This critical issue, which needs to be addressed by both physicians and chiropractors, for patients of the local community as well as the retired professional athlete, was discussed and studied thru out the weekend. The group of anesthesiologists, pain management physicians, orthopedists and chiropractors worked together on patients and exchanged ideas to help study and control chronic pain.
M.U.A. is a valuable alternative to help treat chronic pain. Thru twilight sedation, the patient is stretched within the normal ranges of motion to loosen and decrease adhesions in the supporting musculature and tendons of the spine.This procedure when selected on the proper patients, can relieve pain, spasm and provide relief of chronic pain. Herniated or bulging discs, fibromyalgia, sciatic neuralgia,and degenerative conditions of the spine were just some of the conditions evaluated and discussed.
P.A.S.T., Pain Alternatives Solutions and Treatments, physicians and chiropractors were also present to exchange ideas and help address pain, in the retired athlete. Chronic pain is another big issue in the retired professional athlete, especially the NFL, that needs to be addressed. The Major League Baseball Retired Players Alumni Association has already accepted P.A.S.T. as the official pain sponsor of their organization. Dr Salamone, one of the original founders of P.A.S.T.was excited to help the Canadian chiropractors bring back knowledge to help treat players of the Canadian Football League as well as the regular weekend warriors.
By integrating the chiropractic and medical professions with organizations such as P.A.S.T. and the American Academy of Hospital Chiropractors, AAHC, the patients suffering from chronic pain can finally get the attention they need and hopefully live a more pain free lifestyle.
Dr Salamone has been in private practice for over 31 years, lectures nationally and can be reached via email at spynedr1@aol.com.
*Dr Joseph D. Salamone, Pres. American Academy of Hospital Chiropractors, was invited by members of the Puerto Rican Chiropractic Association to help coordinate the efforts between the Medical and Chiropractic Professions.We are truly grateful to help the Puerto Rican Community learn more about the advances in the local hospitals and Emergency Departments in the US . We can share ideas and help the chiropractic profession with a better working relationship between medical and chiropractic doctors .

The American Academy of Hospital Chiropractors is a non-profit, national organization established to promote chiropractic in hospitals and to advocate for those chiropractors who practice in the hospital environment.

Certified Chiropractors Needed
The need for qualified professionals continues to rise as hospitals across the country are realizing the benefits of providing chiropractic services. Hospital administrators and those in charge of policy are quick to acknowledge that:
  • The chiropractic physician provides extra attention, rationale and the appropriate treatment that significantly improves patient outcomes.
  • Chiropractors offer an extra tool that the medical staff can use to provide the best possible care for their patients.
  • There is less re-medication of patients receiving chiropractic care in the hospital setting.
  • There are fewer repeat visits to the emergency room when a chiropractor has treated the patient
  • Medical and nursing staffs appreciate the help provided by chiropractic doctors.
...and the numbers are increasing
According to the Job Analysis of Chiropractic, a project report, survey analysis, and summary of the practice of chiropractic within the United States, published by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners in January 2005, 6% of chiropractors in the United States have some type of hospital privileges. This is an increase from 4.9% in 1991 and 5.2% in 1998.


AAHC certification is quickly becoming the benchmark credential for hospital chiropractors. Many hospitals now require AAHC certification for their staff chiropractors. CE credit are sponsored through AAHC.


Do you know a key person in your local hospital? Contact the AAHC and let us help you!


The AAHC maintains a national database of chiropractors who have either obtained hospital privileges or who are pursuing hospital privileges. By helping us build our database, you help coordinate efforts so we can work together to open more hospitals to chiropractic. Contact AAHC to enter your data.


Contact the AAHC if you would like to be on the waiting list for the next certification seminar.


Please support hospital chiropractic through certification, membership, or corporate sponsorship.


The AAHC maintains individual state information. If you have something to add about your state, please contact us.


The AAHC also maintains information on insurance issues and complaints. If you have something to add, please contact us.
