Three Health Professions, One Trade Show

This year, the American Chiropractic Conference, the American Massage Conference and the American Acupuncture Conference will take place concurrently. Hosting the historic event is the Town and Country Resort & Conference Center in San Diego. More than 100 hours of continuing education are available at the three-day event (April 20-22), featuring leading educators from all three professions – including Dr. Jeffrey Tucker, Dr. J. Todd Knudsen, Sam Collins, Whitney Lowe, David Kent and others.

ONE Concept is the brains behind the integrated conference. According to Scott Darnell, ONE Concept co-founder, "Each of these professions supports the health and wellness of their clients in very specific and distinct ways.We hope to take that support a step further by providing an environment which allows each profession an opportunity to understand each other and work together to support the physical health of their clients, and the financial health of their respective practices."

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.
