Chiropractic Rings in the New Year

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) sponsored a 15-second video promoting chiropractic that aired for two weeks on the CBS "super screen" in Times Square in New York City. The video was shown twice per hour on the 26-by-20-foot screen, positioned in the heart of Times Square Plaza, from Dec. 18, 2007 through New Year's Day, including during the world-famous New Year's Eve celebration.

The educational video spot, which played in one of the world's most renowned locations, highlights chiropractic's effectiveness in treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions ("Exceptional care for back pain, neck pain, headaches and spinal disorders" and improving overall health, and urges consumers to "Discover better health care. Discover chiropractic."

"This prime location is visited by more than 1.5 million people daily during the busy holiday season," commented ACA President Glenn Manceaux, DC. "This high-visibility video promotion ties in with ACA's commitment to raising public awareness and patient utilization of chiropractic."

To view the video, which eventually will be made available to interested state chiropractic associations and other organizations, go to www.amerchiro.org/press_css.cfm?CID=2637.

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.
