NYCC Hosts 'An Evening with the Masters'

40 Years in the Profession

New York Chiropractic College President Dr. Kenneth Padgett (Lincoln College of Chiropractic graduate, 1951), and NYCC technique instructors Dr. Howard Gennano (Logan, class of 1951), and Dr. Lloyd Henby (National, class of 1952) participated in a round-table discussion on chiropractic philosophy.

Each doctor has been a chiropractor for 40 years: Dr. Henby discussed when DCs were arrested for practicing medicine without a license; Dr. Gennano stressed the importance of working with national and state associations to advance the profession; and Dr. Padgett noted education's role in providing students with the "necessary components" and then allow the DCs to make the choices in "their individual philosophy and practice style."

Dr. Padgett offered this final thought: "The greatest philosophy lessons you will have will be when you are in practice and you repeatedly witness the healing potential of the chiropractic adjustment."

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.
