Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

As we go to press, over 1,000 doctors of chiropractic have registered to participate on ChiroWeb's DCs Only Forum (our online discussion forum for DCs only). This number represents a more-than-400% increase since ChiroWeb switched to a password-based registration system for its discussion forums in October.

We encourage you to register to join the DCs Only Forum at your earliest convenience. To register, click on the "Discussion Forums" box on ChiroWeb's homepage. That will take you to a list of forums, the first being the DCs Only Forum. If you haven't already registered, you must click on the "Start Here" link. That takes you to a screen where you'll enter your personal ID and password that was provided to you on the front page of the November 15, 1999 issue of DC. If you do not have that issue or have questions about registering for the discussion forums, please contact us at ubbadmin@dcmedia.com.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
