Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA) recently signed an endorsement agreement with Eclipse International and its chiropractic division, ChiroMatic Inc., to promote the spinal health benefits of mattresses with Eclipse's "Spinal Zone" sleep technology to chiropractors and consumers.

"The additional support provided by Spinal Zone has been clinically proven to offer valuable spinal health benefits, particularly those that are important to chiropractors," commented Dr. Stephen Simonetti, president of COCSA. "After thorough review, we have determined that Eclipse's Spinal Zone meets those qualifications, and we are proud to lend our credentials to that effect."

Collaborative mattress designs, special point-of-purchase materials, consumer and health care professional education programs, and mass media outreach promotions will be included as part of the endorsement. In addition, special chiropractic promotions will be featured in retail stores that carry Eclipse mattresses.

"We carefully looked at a number of chiropractic groups who were interested in Eclipse, but with the largest membership base and international acclaim, the COCSA made the best fit," said Stuart Carlitz, CEO of Eclipse International. "This will be a great win-win partnership."

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.
