The Missouri Orthopedic Institute, a branch of the University of Missouri (MU) Health Care System, has added chiropractic to its list of available services and named K. Jeffrey Miller, DC, MBA (a longtime columnist for Dynamic Chiropractic) and Jose Ramirez, DC, MS, CCSP, assistant professors of chiropractic.
According to Greg Robertson, internal solutions consultant for the Missouri Orthopedic Institute, Drs. Miller and Ramirez "will operate a clinic right alongside our other orthopaedic providers. The intent is for them to operate a chiropractic practice that partners with all our other providers to deliver the right care, at the right time, in the perfect setting for care. So it is both an independent clinic and an integrated team at the same time.
"We see strong collaboration opportunities where consultations can occur every day and discussions can occur on the spot that allows a patient to move easily from one provider to another based on the clinical need of that patient," Robertson added.

Dr. Miller is the author of more than 300 published articles and nine books, including Practical Assessment of the Chiropractic Patient and Chiropractic Medicare Documentation Self-Inventory. He has also presented 300 seminars during his 30 years of chiropractic practice. In 2016, he won regional gold and national silver awards ("AZBEE Awards") from the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) for two columns written for Dynamic Chiropractic.
Dr. Ramirez has served as team chiropractor for the Missouri football team since 2013. While previously unaffiliated with the MU Health Care System, Dr. Ramirez worked with the University of Missouri athletic department, providing care not only to football players, but also to student athletes on the softball, soccer and varsity cheer squads.
