Arizona Election Results

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

If you've been following the saga of the clash of chiropractic associations in Arizona, (the Chiropractic Association of Arizona, CAA, vs. the Arizona Chiropractic Alliance, AzCA), you'll be interested to know that Arizona DCs made use of the democratic process to officially unite under one organization and one set of officers.

Two DCs for each office were placed on the ballot (a CAA candidate and an AzCA candidate), but without mention of their association affiliation. With the exception of Bill Ingram, all of the candidates elected were nominees of the CAA. The results of the 239 ballots received are listed below.

President: Robert Dahl, D.C.

First Vice President: Ed Weathersby, D.C.

Second Vice President: Bill Ingram, D.C.

Secretary: Linda Simon, D.C.

Treasurer: Terry Peterson, D.C.

The ballot also gave Arizona DCs the opportunity to select a new name for the association: the Arizona Association of Chiropractic (AAC).

"DC" learned that $4,400 in new memberships monies were collected in a single day.

As of this writing the AAC membership is currently at 279 members, and we trust, growing. The combined talents, energies, and resources of the two former organizations can now be focused to strengthen chiropractic in Arizona. We hope their alliance is fruitful.

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.
