NYCC Reaches Agreement with Bergen Community College

New York Chiropractic College recently reached agreement on a joint admissions program with Bergen Community College of Paramus, New Jersey. The agreement, signed earlier this fall, guarantees that students who complete the pre-chiropractic program at Bergen Community will gain admission to NYCC.

The agreement also ensures that students from Bergen Community are adequately prepared for a chiropractic education and that they will make a smooth transition to the college, according to Dr. Judith K. Winn, Bergen's president. "This agreement gives a special advantage to BCC students, since it guarantees admissions regardless of competition," Dr. Winn said.

 


NYCC Faculty Member Published in Track Magazine

Dr. Russ Ebbets, a faculty member of New York Chiropractic College, recently had an article published in Track Coach Magazine, the international technical journal of USA Track and Field. It is believed to be the first time a chiropractor has been published in Track Coach.

Dr. Ebbets' article concerned plantar fascitis and was illustrated by Dr. Dennis Homack, a resident intern at the Seneca Falls student health center. A longtime supporter of USA Track and Field, Dr. Ebbets has served as a lead instructor in the organization's coaching education program since 1983.

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.
