Anglo-European College of Chiropractic Offering "Medical English" Courses

The Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) is continually striving for innovation in the health care field and will be launching a series of "medical English" language courses next month.

More than 44,000 overseas medical professionals moved to the U.K. to take up posts in hospitals and general practices last year and around one-third of GPs are non-U.K. qualified currently. While many professionals arrive in the U.K. with a sufficient command of English and are able to work without any problems, there are a significant number who experience linguistic difficulties.

MESOL ("Medical English for Speakers of Other Languages") courses have been designed with various kinds of health care professionals in mind and are developed to fit around their busy schedules. MESOL courses begin on Monday, Nov. 8, with a "Health Professionals" course. This is a six-week course and covers doctor/patient greetings, establishing contact and opening questions, verbal communication, voice management, listening and cultural awareness. The course costs #399 per week plus a #20 charge to cover teaching materials.

Through a combination of textbook-based and practical sessions, health professionals will be able to improve their command of the English language and also organize their own customized studies and polish their medical presentation skills.

A MESOL course for nursing will start on Monday, Jan. 10, 2011. This a four-week course costing #199 per week plus a £20 charge to cover teaching materials.

Full details can found by visiting www.mesoluk.com or by contacting MESOL Language Consultant Rick Jones at 01202 436200 or rjones@aecc.ac.uk.

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.
