Logan Gets a Grant Challenge
The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma has offered a $20,000 grant challenge to Logan College of Chiropractic which is contingent upon the college reaching a $300,000 campaign goal by July 31, 1995. The $300,000 goal was prompted by an earlier $60,000 grant challenge to Logan from the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE).
The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation was established in 1948 by the late John E. and Lottie Mabee, both natives of Missouri. The Foundation is one of the top 40 major foundations in the U.S. with assets of over one-half billion dollars.
A historic meeting between chiropractic and Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) leadership took place on March 10th, 2026, in Washington, D.C., featuring representatives from chiropractic national organizations, professional associations and policy principals. The collective goal: advancing the role of chiropractic in improving the health of Americans. Meeting participants focused on long-standing issues that have affected the chiropractic profession for decades, including access to care, reimbursement parity, and ensuring DCs have an appropriate role in national health policy discussions.
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.
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.
