Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Hygenic Corporation recently pledged $25,000 to the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP), joining the growing list of corporate and individual sponsors supporting the profession's longest-running public relations campaign.

Jeff Lipsitz, interim CEO of Hygenic, presented the donation at the National Conference on Chiropractic Progress, held in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.

"Hygienic Corporation's vision and leadership will help take the chiropractic profession to a new level," said Kent S. Greenawalt, FCP founder and president. "We are grateful for their generous support."

"We encourage people to support the Foundation," added Lipsitz. "We believe the Foundation represents some of the better thinking in the industry and it is here to stay. So for those that are considering getting involved, we encourage them to do so."

Greenawalt established the FCP in 2003 as a vehicle to increase public awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care. Every dollar received from donors goes directly to the advertising/public relations campaign. For more information or to make a donation, visit www.foundation4cp.com.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
