While cervical disc pathology can unquestionably produce radiculopathy, many patients presenting with arm pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness do not exhibit the clinical behavior of true nerve-root compromise. In these cases, failure to differentiate the primary pain generator may lead to unnecessary spinal injections, nerve ablation procedures or surgical consultation despite limited likelihood of benefit.
#ChiropracticCares to the Rescue
With millions of Americans reeling following a string of destructive and deadly tornadoes in mid-December 2021 that cut across six Southeast and Midwest states (Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee), leaving devastation and despair in their wake, Foot Levelers immediately launched #ChiropracticCares, a matching-donation campaign to aid in relief and recovery efforts.
The company pledged to match all donations made through Foot Levelers up to $250,000, with 100 percent of tax-deductible donations going directly to the American Red Cross. Donations were accepted through Dec. 31, 2021 via phone or mail.
Kent Greenawalt, Foot Levelers chairman and CEO, offered his heartfelt thanks to members of the chiropractic profession who pledged their support during this time of need:
"When people are suffering, chiropractors are quick to respond with healing and compassion," he said. "We're grateful to everyone who supported our Matching Funds Campaign for Storm Relief last month. Their generosity has provided crucial assistance to the many people rebuilding their lives after this tragedy. Once again, our colleagues helped us show the world how much chiropractors care."
