The IFCO agrees with the below Foundation for Vertebral Subluxation’s (FVSR) proposed amendment to the FCLB’s proposed resolution that reads:

“Now therefore be it – Resolved, that the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards recommends: 1) That the use of radiographic imaging in patient care is at the professional judgement of the attending Doctor of Chiropractic and determined (IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PATIENT) on a case by base basis in an evidence informed approach; and 2) That Chiropractic care policies and guidelines that impose practice standards based on parameters of time before a Doctor of Chiropractic may obtain radiographic imaging potentiates an unnecessary delay which can adversely affect the efficacy and safety of patient care and their health as consumers of chiropractic services.”
