U.C. Berkeley Extension Begins Offering Anatomy Lab Courses at Life West

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

As of Sept. 3, the University of California Berkeley Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions Program has begun using the anatomy facilities at Life Chiropractic College West for its Human Anatomy Laboratory course.

"We are excited to work with such a prestigious program as UC Berkeley Extension," said Dr. Joseph Ferguson, Life West dean. "By offering exceptional facilities and ample support and cooperation, we aim to create a productive environment for their students to excel. It is our hope to build upon this relationship and offer additional classes over time."

As U.C. Berkeley Extension began expanding its programs into both East and South Bay regions, the university sought local facilities to accommodate its anatomy students. Easy access to both Highway 92 and I-880 freeways, along with ample parking, were valuable features making Life West an attractive choice. Future courses will be scheduled during evening and/or weekend hours when Life West classes are not in session.

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.
