Life West Offers $500 Credit to Incoming Students to Help Defray Rising Costs of Education

As the cost of education continues to increase, Life Chiropractic College West is helping to alleviate some of the burden by offering assistance in the form of a $500 credit. Every incoming student enrolled for Winter 2010 or Spring 2010 will receive the credit, which can be used at the campus bookstore.

According to Brenda Johnson, director of financial aid, "New students need as much support as they can get especially when they start any new program. Our future D.C.'s can use the credit to help them get things from basic school supplies to a Radiology Book Set to their lab jackets or even a portable adjusting table. We believe in our students and are happy to assist them in reaching their dreams. The gesture will hopefully lay the foundation for a productive, enjoyable experience during their studies at Life West."

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.
