Getting Your Daily Dose of the Web

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Nearly half of all Americans who have Internet access now browse the World Wide Web every day, according to a survey released by the Emerging Technologies Group. Results show that the daily and weekly usage of both the World Wide Web and e-mail has risen dramatically in just the past two years.

The random survey, conducted between February and April 1997, shows that of the 31 million American adults with Internet access, 49% (approximately 15.2 million) browse on the World Wide Web every day. In 1995, only 36% of users surfed the Web every day. In terms of weekly statistics, 88% of all users now browse the web at least once a week, up from 81% in 1995.

The use of e-mail has also dramatically increased. Sending and/or receiving e-mail is a daily routine for 59% of all American adults on the Internet; only 47% used e-mail programs every day in 1995. In 1997, 89% use e-mail one or more times a week, compared to the 78% in 1995.

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.
