So...body fat scales. Good or bad? Remember we had the team from BBC X-Ray visit us a couple of weeks ago? See what they found when the piece is broadcast on Monday evening at 7:30pm. Great to see our DXA service being showcased too. 👍

Digwyddiad gwych arall! Another great event!
In January, one of our final year student clinicians, Suann Chia, travelled to Hong Kong with Jenny Zhou (USW staff) to share information about the Master of Chiropractic course here at WIOC. With Natalie Ng, a WIOC graduate working in HK, they attended 2 city education fairs, 4 high schools education fairs, presented to prospective students and their parents, and also presented to education counsellors. A great way to get the message out there!

Myths and misconceptions about the cause, treatment and prognosis of back pain need to be addressed in order that health professionals provide guideline based information and care for patients. It is also important to manage patient/public expectations by providing clear and concise information about this very common disorder. The attached research article addresses some of the issues encountered by medical students in an attempt to identify that if not corrected, these myt...hs will continue and patients will be expecting and given unnecessary treatments and advice. It is the responsibility of all health educational programmes to ensure that their curricula are up to date and evidence based to ensure that patients and the public receive the right messages for the right conditions.
