ChiroPoll -- Your Chance to Learn and Be Heard

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

There are many important issues facing the chiropractic profession. How organizations within the profession react is generally based on a consensus.

How can you know the opinions of other DCs on a broad range of topics? And how can you be sure your opinion will be heard?

Every two weeks, we present a ChiroPoll for your consideration. The leaders of the chiropractic professions can read and think about the results of those polls. It gives them a concrete idea of what DCs are thinking.

Don't sit on the sidelines, speak out. It only takes a minute to voice your opinion. Go to Dynamic Chiropractic's website (www.chiroweb.com) and vote. The direct address for the poll is:

Read the question and click on your choice. When you do, you will immediately see the up-to-date results of the voting.

You will also find the archives of all of the survey questions asked on ChiroPoll. Take a good look.

If you have a suggestion for a survey question, e-mail it to us at don@mpamedia.com. Your issues are important to us. Give us the question and see how the profession responds.

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.
