The New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) recently named Michael Howard, D.C., director of its Syracuse Health Center.

Dr. Howard received his doctor of chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College (LCC) in 1981, and continued his chiropractic training through postgraduate programs at the National College of Chiropractic (NCC) with advanced training in Radiology. He was among a group of doctors who participated in a nationwide research project regarding the diagnosis and treatment of low back disorders. The study was published in The Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT).

Dr. Howard is a member of the New York State Chiropractic Association (NYSCA), the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), International Academy on Chiropractic Low Back Pain Study, the North Carolina Chiropractic Association, and is a diplomate of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

"I am looking forward to contributing to the education of our interns, and in being part of the service that the Health Center will offer my community," said Dr. Howard of his new position.

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.
