Dr. Ferguson Named to National Board of Chiropractic Examiners

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Peter Ferguson,DC, a member of the Department of Defense's Chiropractic Health Care Demonstration Oversight Advisory Committee and a past president of the Ohio State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, has been named an at-large director to the board of directors of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE). Dr. Ferguson takes the director-at-large position vacated by the death of Dr. Louis Latimer. Dr. Latimer was also the NBCE president (see our April 5th, 1999 issue).

"Dr. Ferguson was selected for his broad experience with both state and national chiropractic organizations, from the educational sector to the licensing and regulatory sector," explained Paul Tullio,DC, president of the NBCE. "The NBCE Board and staff are delighted to have a true leader in the profession for this organization," he added.

Dr. Ferguson captured national attention last year when he ran on the Democratic ticket in Ohio for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. He captured a respectable 36% of the vote.

A 1968 graduate of National College of Chiropractic, Dr. Ferguson received the "Outstanding Achievement" award from the Ohio State Chiropractic Association in 1991.

The NBCE (established in 1963) is headquartered in Greeley, Colorado. The NBCE is the agency that develops and administers the national chiropractic examinations. The NBCE board is comprised of five district directors (elected by their districts), four directors-at-large, and two appointees from the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards. The current NBCE Board members are:

Frank Hideg,DC
Chairman, District II Director

Paul Tullio,DC
President, Director-at-Large

Vincent Greco,DC
Vice President, District III Director

John Tierney,DC
Treasurer, District V Director

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.
