Breakthrough Coaching Honors Foundation Spokesperson Rebecca Halstead

Foundation for Chiropractic Progress spokesperson, Ret. General Rebecca (Becky) Halstead, received the Chiropractic Crusader Award on May 14 at a Breakthrough Coaching seminar in Chicago. The award, presented by Dr. Mark Sanna, recognizes outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to the chiropractic profession.

The general was the first female graduate of West Point and the commander of 25,000 troops in Iraq. After chiropractic care relieved her of debilitating fibromyalgia, she became the spokesperson for the foundation and has contributed greatly to its mission to generate positive press for chiropractic.

Also receiving an award at the event was Dr. Mark Ford of Pampa, Texas. Dr. Ford was awarded the Outstanding Commitment Award recognizing his service to his patients, community and profession. He is celebrating his 29th year of chiropractic practice.

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.
