Washingtonian Magazine Rates King Koil as Best Mattress

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Washingtonian magazine, a Washington, D.C. publication with a circulation of over 160,000, recently rated King Koil Spinal Guard mattresses as the best in its annual "Best and Worst" July issue. The International Chiropractors Association (ICA) has endorsed King Koil Spinal Guard mattresses since 1969.

The magazine quotes Julia Wray, D.C. of Alexandria, Virginia describing King Koil as "the Cadillac of mattresses." Dr. Wray explains in the article that unlike many other mattresses, the King Koil's reinforced center better supports the heaviest part of the body during sleep.

The ICA Posture Committee works closely with King Koil in creating posturally-supportive products. The partnership has resulted in the development of 12 different styles of chiropractically-sound bedding. Over two million people worldwide now own a King Koil sleep set.

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.
