Dear DC

Bruce Kniegge

I just want to express my heart-felt thanks to you and all the doctors who have responded to the article you published about my shooting in Honduras. The response from the chiropractic community was fantastic. My wife and I cried as we read the letters and cards sent by many well wishers. The financial response was enough to help cover the extra costs of my surgery, flights, and a future prosthesis.

My health is very good, and my full strength is back. I have no pain and have just been fitted with a temporary ceramic eye. I will get a more permanent type of eye in June. I am getting used to the loss of this important item in my body. I praise God for two of them and that I still have my life and the use of my other eye. I still have my hands, so I can provide effective chiropractic care also.

Again, thank you for your help. Your prayers and your support in all ways.

Serving "Him" in Honduras.

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.
