Dynamic Chiropractic & Chiro-Journal Form Editorial Alliance

Japanese "Chiropractic Report" to Begin in September
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

TOKYO -- As the chiropractic profession continues to expand worldwide, staying current on chiropractic matters becomes a real challenge. Actions of DCs in one country can significantly affect chiropractic in other parts of the world. Whether it's the latest research, legislative breakthroughs, or just new ways of addressing common problems, chiropractic is a globally interdependent profession.

The Chiro-Journal is one of the most widely read publications in Japan. Although there are still relatively few graduate DCs in Japan, the Chiro-Journal has a circulation of over 20,000.

In an effort to share chiropractic news between Japan and North America, Dynamic Chiropractic and the Chiro-Journal Japan have formed an editorial alliance. Dynamic Chiropractic is allowing the Chiro-Journal to translate and republish some of our articles and information. In return, the Chiro-Journal Editor Miyako Sakurai will be writing a "Japanese Chiropractic Report" to be published quarterly for readers of Dynamic Chiropractic.

This editorial alliance was made possible during a meeting in Tokyo with Mr. Shinji Saitoh, director of Kagaku Shimbun-sha Co., Ltd., the company that publishes the Chiro-Journal. Mr. Saitoh graciously agreed to keep DC readers up-to-date on chiropractic events in Japan.

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.
