While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.
More Kudos for ChiroWeb
In June, two popular health sites bestowed website awards on ChiroWeb, raising the number of awards ChiroWeb has won since its inception to 10.
On June 8, ChiroWeb received the "Editor's Choice" award from http://www.HealingWell.com. The site received the award based on three criteria:
- exceptional web design;
- reliable and quality health information on disease and disorder topics; and
- patient accessibility and support.
Less than two weeks later, on June 19, ChiroWeb was chosen as a "selected site" by MedExplorer.com, a free health search engine utilized primarily by health care professionals and consumers. ChiroWeb was chosen because of its content and ease of navigation. It is the first chiropractic site named a selected site by http://www.MedExplorer.com.
