ACA has partnered with Sharecare, Inc. - a new company created by Internet entrepreneur Jeff Arnold, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, a leading cardiac surgeon, health expert and host of "The Dr. Oz Show," along with Harpo Studios, Sony Pictures Television and Discovery Communications - to answer health and wellness questions on the company's soon-to-be-launched interactive Web site.

In addition to ACA, Sharecare has partnered with other major national associations in health care, along with prominent nonprofit and professional societies that represent the world's leading medical expertise. From the American Red Cross to Challenge America to the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Sharecare is bringing together the top minds in the health care field to provide consumers with multiple perspectives within a single Web site dedicated to improving health. This information will arm patients with all their options in regard to health care, and empower them to make better, more informed choices.

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.
