Comming Attractions on the Internet -- New Domain Names

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Most people who use the Internet are familiar with domain names: the extensions that reflect the purpose of an organization or entity. The most common domains are: .com (commercial website); .gov (government); .edu (educational institutions); .mil (branch of the military); .net (networking activities); .org (organizations); and .int (international matters).

Many organizations have complained that the seven "top-level" domain names don't allow for a World Wide Web address that accurately defines their purpose or company. The Internet Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC) has proposed an additional seven top-level domains.

The proposed extensions, like the other domain names, are mostly self-explanatory: .firm; .store; .web (web activities); .rec (recreation and entertainment); .arts; .info; and .nom (for individuals).

The new domain names probably won't come into use until the end of this year; perhaps longer, if current arguments between the IAHC and other organizations continue. However, once they are in place, the names will make advanced searches for a particular name or company much easier.

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.
