Virginia Association Changes Name

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The former Tidewater Chiropractic Association, headquartered in Hampton Roads, Virginia, was renamed Hampton Roads Chiropractic Association (HRCA) during a recent monthly membership meeting. The HRCA designed and adopted a new logo as well.

The new name is an accurate geographic description of the HRCA's service area. The association's members practice in a region that stretches from Virginia Beach to Williamsburg.

HRCA president Robert B. Thoma, D.C. announced that the association has named Brickell & Associates as its public relations agency. Brickell & Associates is a Norfolk-based agency which represents Virginia as a partner in The WORLDCOM Group, Inc., the world's largest network of independent public relations agencies.

The HRCA's public relations efforts will emphasize and promote educational advancement of its own members and the community through internal initiatives and programs for the general public.

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.
