Sherman's Accreditation Deferred

Southern California's Denied
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) accreditation for Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic was deferred by the CCE's Commission on Accreditation (COA) for a period of not more than 18 months. Sherman was given a list of particular non-compliance issues that COA feels the college can resolve within that period.

Southern California College of Chiropractic was denied accreditation by COA. The commission denies accreditation when they feel there are so many issues of non-compliance, that it would be impossible for the institution to resolve them in an 18 month period. Southern California may re-apply at any time, but the process of self-study and examination would take at least one year to complete.

Pennsylvania College of Chiropractic (which just recently removed "Straight" from its name) was denied accreditation by the COA last January.

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.
