National's Florida DC Program Awarded CCE Accreditation

National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) received notice on July 29, 2011, from the Council on Chiropractic Education regarding accreditation of its Doctor of Chiropractic degree program in St. Petersburg, Fla. The CCE has awarded programmatic accreditation to both the Illinois campus (reaccreditation) and the Florida campus.

National opened the doors of its Florida campus to welcome its first DC students in Fall 2009. Its facilities are housed on the campus of St. Petersburg College (SPC) as part of NUHS' participation in the University Partnership Center at SPC. Since 2009, National has successfully expanded its facilities, faculty and student enrollment, in addition to opening a clinic for SPC and NUHS faculty, staff and students on the St. Petersburg College campus.

"We are very pleased to receive this notice from the Council on Chiropractic Education, and will continue to work toward a high standard of program excellence at both our Illinois and Florida campuses," said Dr. James F. Winterstein, president of NUHS.

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.
