• Current Concepts: Spinal Manipulation and Cervical Arterial Incidents.

Now NCMIC policyholders can arm themselves with NCMIC’s new CVA monograph, which reveals there is no causative relationship between chiropractic and strokes.
• Professional Boundaries: Idendification and Consequences of Sexual Misconduct. An allegation of sexual misconduct is stressful as well as potentially damaging to your professional and personal life.

NCMIC has developed a FREE online document to guide our policyholders with this sensitive issue.
