CBS Pulls Out of Suit Against DC

Attempt to Get Restraining Order Fails
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

On April 3, 2003, Chiropractic Benefit Services (CBS) filed a lawsuit accusing Dynamic Chiropractic of publishing an article that contained misinformation. In addition to the lawsuit, CBS also filed for a temporary restraining order to prevent DC from publishing any articles regarding CBS.

When the court heard the motion for the restraining order, the judge specifically asked CBS for legal precedence that would allow him to restrain a national newspaper from publishing news about CBS. When the CBS lawyers failed to provide even one case, the judge made it clear he had no intention of granting the restraining order.

Having lost the first round, CBS quickly decided not to pursue further action. Before DC could even respond, CBS filed to dismiss the lawsuit on May 7, just 34 days after it was filed.

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.
