Deadline for Job Analysis Questionnaire Extended

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

GREELEY, Colorado -- The National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) has extended the deadline for its study of chiropractic practice to November 15th. Chiropractors selected to complete a questionnaire concerning their practices are encouraged to complete the survey as soon as possible and return it to the NBCE.

The current survey is an update of the the NBCE's 1991 Job Analysis of Chiropractic. The new survey will seek to gauge the impact of managed care on chiropractic practice. This survey, like the 1991 compendium of information, will be a major reference document on chiropractic.

If you have received a questionnaire and have any questions concerning the completion of the survey form, contact Martin Kollasch, DC at 1-800-964-6223, ext. 337.

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.
