A Book to Know: Assessing and Treating Culturally Diverse Clients

  • April 30, 2025

Whether you’re a seasoned DC or you’re just starting out in clinic, it’s good to always be informed on DEI practices! Check out this book from the Learning Commons! 😊

📖 A Book to Know: Assessing and Treating Culturally Diverse Clients by Freddy A. Panigua

This essential resource is designed specifically for healthcare providers, including chiropractors, offering practical strategies to assess and treat patients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. In the book, Panigua emphasizes the importance of "understanding the role of culture in health and healing practices" and provides evidence-based approaches to ensure that your chiropractic care is inclusive and effective for all patients.

Panigua addresses topics such as cultural humility, the impact of historical trauma on health, and adapting manual therapies to suit diverse needs. He also explores how clinicians can create a welcoming environment for patients by acknowledging cultural differences and offering personalized treatment plans.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their cultural competence and provide more effective, empathetic care!

We encourage all students and faculty to explore this book, along with the rest of our ✨DEI book collection✨, to enrich your understanding of diversity in chiropractic practice.
