Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Dr. Peter Martin, president of Palmer College of Chiropractic West, is on sabbatical effective July 1, 2000. Palmer Chanellor Michael Crawford said he would serve as interim president until a new president is appointed.

Mr. Crawford said Dr. Martin will continue to serve Palmer as a consultant and will finish out his term as president of the Council on Chiropractic Education.

"It should be obvious to all at Palmer West and throughout the chiropractic profession, that Dr. Martin has been instrumental in the progress made by this fine institution," said Mr. Crawford. "The relocation to the Tasman site, the enrollment gains that have assisted in providing better economic stability, and the excelling caliber of the education delivered at Palmer West have all occurred on Dr. Martin's watch. He deserves the appreciation of the entire Palmer Chiropractic community for his contribution to those and other Palmer West successes."

An all-school assembly will be held to honor Dr. Martin.

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.
