Chiro-Serve Exits the Internet

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Chiro-Serve, owned by the P.O.I.N.T. Corp., turned off its lines on August 17th, ending its chiropractic information Internet service to focus on its business interests in the field of oncology.

Dennis Callahan, CEO of the P.O.I.N.T. Corp., explained the decision: "During our two-year relationship with chiropractic, many leaders have stepped forward and have been active participants in leading the way, however, too few have followed."

Chiro-Serve's departure leaves two chiropractic Internet services standing:

  • Chirolink, Dr. John Miller (408) 356-8708

     

  • CHIROLARS, Dr. Ronald Rupert (817) 898-0234

In the official statement from Chiro-Serve, Mr. Callahan thanked the leadership of the chiropractic colleges and state and national organizations who used the service, and who actively encouraged alumni and members to participate.

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.
