Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

As of Oct. 24, chiropractic students who participated in the fall 2003 Part I, Part II, Part III, Acupuncture and/or Physiotherapy exams administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) can view their scores online by visiting the NBCE Web site (www.nbce.org) and selecting the "Online Access to Scores" link. Students will need their NBCE identification number in order to locate their scores.

Students who took the NBCE Part IV exam in November will be able to access their scores online as of Dec. 26, 2003. Even though scores reported online are not official, the goal is to get scores to students as soon as possible. Examinees will continue to receive written confirmation of their scores by regular mail.

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.
