have the research and evidence of chiropractic
care at my fingertips. I am convinced that in

Chiropractic patients deserve the best care possible – after all, that’s the
mission of a health care professional. In a modern health care world where
scientific evidence is fast becoming the requirement for treatment –
especially in regard to reimbursement – one of your most valuable resources
will be access to evidence-based research and the expertise on how to use
evidence in daily practice – all for the betterment of your patients.
Addressing these hard facts, the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and
Research (FCER) is proud to have led in the development of DCConsultSM
— The profession’s newest online chiropractic resource. And for a limited
time, you may subscribe to DCConsult at special, never-to-be-offered-again
Charter Subscription Rates – and lock in the rate for the next three years!
Housing all of the published research relevant to chiropractic, the web site
helps you in your daily practice to:
-
Guide improved patient care
-
Support treatment plans with other health care providers and
patients
-
Argue for reimbursement, and,
-
Help in the fight for accuracy and fairness for chiropractic on
the local, state and national levels

“DCConsult is exactly what the profession and
individual DCs have been waiting for – an authoritative
and practical web-based method of translating ongoing
research into information that can be used in management
of patients in daily practice. Thanks to all who are
providing the huge resources required. Every DC should
try it – and then wonder how he or she survived before.”
– David Chapman-Smith, Ed.,
The Chiropractic Report, Secretary
General, World Federation of Chiropractic |
How Does It Work?
DCConsult has been developed as a complete clinician/patient/research
information resource – a web site with global access to information. You log
on each day and use the site to search on the MANTIS™
and Medline databases for scientific evidence relevant to the patient’s
condition and treatment.
With DCConsult as the resource, you may:
-
Search for and compile information regarding recommended patient
health care diagnosis, treatment and prevention
-
Develop and print customized patient handouts, find and utilize
in daily practice detailed research articles and commentaries,
and,
-
Search other health care-related databases, all at the click of
a mouse
All this, at reasonable and affordable Charter Subscription Rates.
What’s more, if you subscribe now, you will benefit from the lowest rates to
be offered, and will be on board as the resource center expands into the
next phases of content.
Currently, DCConsult is a gateway, repository and sharing medium for
chiropractic and alternative health care research and data. In addition, the
data will serve as a reference library for legal, regulatory and legislative
needs. Eventually, as the site is further developed, it will continue to
grow to be inclusive of alternative health care, nutrition,
wellness and more.

“I am extremely impressed with DCConsult. For
many years, doing an online search was torture for me,
but now, it is extremely easy. You simply type in the
name of a condition, an author or publication and that
information is instantly displayed. From there, you can
easily find related materials, current articles,
treatment papers related to that condition and a great
deal more information.
“While DCConsult is in the initial stages of
development, each day new materials are added which
really make it quick and simple for those in everyday
practice to access new data that can help them in
practice. They will find evidence, where evidence
exists, to support their treatment and also be up to
date with respect to discussing various conditions and
treatment protocols with their patients, attorneys,
other physicians and their peers.”
– Thomas E. Hyde, DC |

ultimately will better serve the patient.

evidenced-based information – invaluable to an evidence-based practice. And
as with all FCER initiatives and services, be assured that DCConsult is as
professionally developed and relevant to today’s chiropractic provider as
any other practice resource center now available.

the field clinician a very honest evaluation of the
recommended treatment for specific problems they
encounter in their practices. I also noted it is very
