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:

http://www.chiroweb.com/chiropoll

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. 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.
