Nat'l Board Offers Online Sample Tests

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners has developed sample tests to assist chiropractic candidates to prepare for the national boards. Sample tests are available on line (www.nbce.org) for Part I, Part II, Part III, and Physiotherapy.

The sample tests, according to the NBCE, are "representative of the style and quality of actual NBCE examination questions."

The Part I, Part II, and Physiotherapy tests contain 50 questions and cost $15 each. The NBCE suggests that candidates replicate testing conditions by allowing 40 minutes for each of these tests. Part III has 75 questions, costs $20, and should be timed for 90 minutes.

The NBCE specifies: "Once you start a sample test, you must provide an answer to each question before proceeding. When you complete a sample test, you will receive a list of the questions that you answered incorrectly along with the correct answer."

For further information, contact Joanne Monath, director of professional relations and communications at the NBCE: (970) 356-9100 ext. 119.

When Radiculopathy Isn't Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 1)
hen Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series

Radicular-like pain of the upper and lower extremities is among the most common presentations in musculoskeletal and spine-related practice. Traditionally, these symptoms are interpreted through a disc-centric and dermatomal framework, often leading clinicians to attribute limb pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness to spinal nerve-root pathology. While this approach is appropriate in cases of true radiculopathy, it frequently falls short when symptoms fail to follow consistent dermatomal patterns or correlate poorly with imaging findings.

Chronic Sciatica: Ending the Relapse Cycle
Chronic Sciatica: Ending the Relapse Cycle

A 46-year-old male presented to our clinic with a seven-year history of recurrent low back pain with sciatica. He reported stiffness and discomfort that worsened with prolonged sitting both at his desk job and during evening television time. The patient had seen multiple chiropractors over the years. In every case, spinal manipulation and other passive treatments would bring gradual symptom relief over 2-3 months. However, within another 3-6 months, the symptoms would return. Frustrated – and now considering a spinal injection and possibly surgery if that failed, he came to our office seeking a different approach.
