The Urban League Visits New York Chiropractic College

Dr. Kenneth W. Padgett, president of New York Chiropractic College, welcomed Ms. Rosemary Durant Giles and a group of young adults from the Urban League of Long Island's Adolescent Vocational Exploration (AVE) Program. The purpose of AVE is to encourage early academic preparation for long-term professional goals. Following a tour of the Old Brookville Campus, the AVE participants were given an opportunity to learn about the chiropractic profession.

The tour concluded with a round-table discussion led by Dr. Mark Feldman, associate director for Institutional Advancement. As both an instructor and field practitioner, Dr. Feldman was able to offer the young people a realistic view of chiropractic education and the chiropractic profession.

Mr. Giles remarked, "The visit to NYCC was a very impressive experience for the young adults who visited the college. It's programs like this that act as a bootstrap in keeping our young students honing in on their professional goal. I was very impressed with the manner in which the professional staff at NYCC undertook to impress upon the young adults why they should consider chiropractic as a possible career goal."

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.
