There are new opportunities opening up every day for integrated chiropractic professionals and with those opportunities, there are an increasing number of non-traditional chiropractors out there. And though many chiropractors may feel they are precluded from certain positions, Dr. Paul Dougherty has broken through many perceived boundaries. He is truly blazing new trails for the profession. He is a faculty member at New York Chiropractic College and also a clinical faculty member in Department of Orthopedics at University of Rochester School of Medicine. Dr. Dougherty serves as a clinician and research scientist at the VA (Veterans Health Administration), and chair of the American Public Health Association Chiropractic Section. Dr. Dougherty spoke live in the OnTheOtherHand studio with podcast host Dr. Brett Kinsler.

Dr. Dougherty spoke about the pros and cons of practicing chiropractic in a salaried system, the model of the VA clinics for the civilian world, advantages of an integrated EHR and the clinical trials he’s running including those involving clinical prediction rules, functional MRI and psychosocial factors of back pain.
