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.

Dr. Adam Del Torto, a 1984 graduate of NYCC, is the founder and developer of a specialized "balloon assisted" cranial adjusting technique called Cranial Facial Release (CFR), which often works on last-resort patients who have not responded to other forms of conventional treatment. He has lectured at multiple chiropractic forums in both the U.S. and abroad, and his unique approach to cranial adjusting has generated interest and enthusiasm throughout the profession. He is also the creator of a "CHIROPRACTIC ROCKS" – an annual convention designed to "Shape the Future of Chiropractic and Create the Next Generation of Chiropractic Legends."
