WCA Produces Position Paaper Supporting SCASA

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) is supported by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and the International Chiropractors' Association (ICA). The Straight Chiropractic Academic Standards Association (SCASA) is supported by the Federation of Straight Chiropractic Organizations (FSCO) and the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA). This alignment provides balance within the two areas of the profession.

The WCA developed and distributed a 24 page position paper on "The Acceptance of SCASA and SCASA-School Graduates." This paper was submitted by the WCA to the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners in opposition to the adoption of Section 331.1, the proposed amendments to the chiropractic act (please see "California Board of Chiropractic Examiners Seeks Amendments That Will Mandate Educational Diagnostic Responsibility" in the April 11, 1990 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic). The WCA joined the Association of Straight Chiropractic Colleges (ASCC) and SCASA in giving testimony to the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

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.
