While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.
Dynamic Chiropractic Develops Regional Forums
Dynamic Chiropractic has served as the international forum of the chiropractic profession for almost eight years. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to editorially address every concern. Much of the time, issues have arisen that were not necessarily international in scope, but were more regional in nature.
In a continuing effort to serve the worldwide chiropractic profession on every level, Dynamic Chiropractic is proud to announce our new "regional forums."
The first two regional forums will be The International Forum and The California Forum. These two forums will be additional sections of Dynamic Chiropractic and will only be seen by those chiropractors and students in those regions.
The International Forum will be included in the issues of Dynamic Chiropractic that are mailed to all doctors and students of chiropractic outside of North America. This will include news items, articles, and advertising specifically for the chiropractic profession in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America.
In order to facilitate this new regional forum format, Dynamic Chiropractic will now be mailed on two different schedules. One issue per month will be mailed to every chiropractor, chiropractic student, and chiropractic supplier in the world. This issue will include The International Forum. The other issues will be mailed only to the chiropractic profession in North America.
Beginning with the September 12, 1990 issue, Dynamic Chiropractic will inaugurate The California Forum. This section will only be included in those issues of "DC" mailed to chiropractors, students, and suppliers in California. This section will be a forum for those issues and concerns exclusive to chiropractic in California.
This new regional forum format will better enable the chiropractic profession to grow both internationally and regionally. Be looking for additional regional forums to include Canada and other areas of the United States.
