The Chiropractic Profession -- in Spanish

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The book, La Profesion Quiropractica, a project of the Spanish chiropractic association (Asociacion Espanola de Quiropractica or AEQ) has recently been published. According to the author Antolin Silva Couto, BS, DC, CCSP, vp of the AEQ, the book was written because of the "absolute lack of information regarding chiropractic in the spanish language," and the need to inform Spain's legislators, politicians, and health professionals about chiropractic.

The 161-page book is a comprehensive and well-referenced review of the chiropractic profession, divided in five chapters: the vertebral subluxation complex; chiropractic practice; cost efficiency and clinical efficacy of chiropractic treatment; chiropractic education; and the legal situation of chiropractic around the world.

Dr. Couto states the book is the first scientific textbook in the spanish language. The lack of a basic textbook on chiropractic in spanish, Dr. Couto asserts, has resulted in the "isolation of the profession in spanish speaking countries," particularly as it regards other health professionals and lawmakers.

The book may be ordered by sending a check for $20 to:

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.
