Connecticut Chiro. Association Supports Foundation for Chiropractic Progress

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The members of the Connecticut Chiropractic Association approved a resolution at their Fall Conference and Annual Membership Meeting to support the efforts of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), pledging two years of financial support.

Kent Greenawalt, president/CEO of Foot Levelers, started the foundation in 2003 to address the need for a sustained national advertising and public relations campaign (See "Campaign for Chiropractic Gaining Momentum," Dynamic Chiropractic, June 4, 2005: www.chiroweb.com/archives/23/12/07.html). Since then, the foundation has established a board of directors and is gaining ground as more chiropractors, schools and associations sign on to support the campaign.

"The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress is the only national program that succeeds to promote the profession in a positive public image and is directed towards the potential chiropractic patient," said CCA President, Dr. Matt Pagano. "The Connecticut Chiropractic Association is moving in a direction of consumer driven education and feels that the work of the Foundation compliments the Connecticut Chiropractic Association's efforts to educate the public and unites the goals of chiropractors throughout the country to promote health through chiropractic."

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.
