Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

DAVENPORT, Iowa - The plans of Marycrest International University (MIU) to develop a doctoral program in chiropractic at its sister institution - Teikyo Loretto Heights in Denver, Colorado - have been approved by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

The MIU University Colorado College of Chiropractic is scheduled to begin offering courses this coming fall. Dr. Robert Davison has been hired as executive dean of the new program.

Marycrest and Teikyo Loretto Heights are members of the UNITE (University Network for International and Technological Education) Consortium, a group of three U.S. Teikyo-affiliated institutions which enhances institutional effectiveness by sharing curricular, personnel and other resources.

Marycrest College, founded as a woman's Catholic college in Davenport, Iowa in 1939, has graduated thousands of successful professionals in nursing, education, computer science/graphics and social work. In 1990, the University affiliated with the Teikyo University Group.

Editor's note: DC will be doing a more in-depth article on the new college in an upcoming issue. You may contact the Marycrest International University Colorado College of Chiropractic at (303) 937-4585. Information is also available at http://chiro.mcrest.edu.

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.
