Life University Announces "LIFE in Your City" Nationwide Tour

Life University has announced a nationwide, nine-city tour designed to help the profession help itself. "LIFE in Your City" is a three-day event in each city, and provides elements that will help DCs earn continuing education, allow their patients to hear the chiropractic message from Life University President, Dr. Guy Riekeman, and take part in attracting the next generation of chiropractors.

"We need more chiropractors and we need better patient education," said Riekeman "LIFE in Your City is designed to accomplish both these [goals], as well as providing an incentive to engage chiropractors with continuing education." The program will also serve as a tool to help DCs grow their practices.

LIFE in Your City will commence Thursday-Saturday, April 19-21, in Miami, Fla. The three days will include state-approved continuing education on Thursday, along with a special presentation for patients. Friday and Saturday will be about getting prospective students interested in the profession via dynamic speakers, hands‐on activities and special presentations. Other cities on the tour include Philadelphia, San Diego, Orlando, Milwaukee, Columbus (Ohio), Los Angeles, Tampa and Denver.

The nine-city tour will take place over a two-year period, concluding in April 2014. Additional cities may be added.

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.
