In this episode, Tim and Brandon dive into the fascinating world of neuropathic pain. Have you ever been curious about how our nerves can both transmit and produce pain signals? If so, then you won't want to miss out on this deep dive into this complex topic.

During this episode, we will be dissecting a common orthopedic condition that is often mistaken for sciatica - ischiofemoral impingement. By the end of the podcast, you will have a clear understanding of how to identify and effectively treat this condition.

If you're a chiropractor looking to gain a deeper insight into this commonly encountered diagnosis, then this podcast is a must-listen. Tim and Brandon will be sharing some of the industry's best-kept secrets, giving you the tools you need to recognize and treat ischiofemoral impingement effectively.

In Podcast 7, listeners will learn about cervicogenic vertigo and why it is crucial to understand it. The podcast delves into the causes of cervical vertigo, including anatomical and physiological factors and common triggers such as neck trauma and degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Additionally, listeners will gain insight into the most common symptoms of cervicogenic dizziness and how they differ from other forms of dizziness. The podcast also covers the critical assessment findings used to diagnose cervicogenic vertigo and the importance of ruling out other potential causes of dizziness. Furthermore, listeners will learn about the differences between benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and cervical vertigo and the importance of making an accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment. Lastly, the podcast covers the different treatment options for cervicogenic vertigo and the evidence supporting each treatment's effectiveness. Overall, this podcast is an informative and essential listen for anyone looking to understand cervicogenic vertigo better.

This podcast has an exciting lineup of topics to discuss. First, we'll dive into new research on platelets versus steroids for spinal injections—guess the winner. Next, we will dive into the condition of the month: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). We'll explore the differences between vascular and neurogenic TOS and how the entire nerve becomes irritated from long-standing adhesion, compression, or injury. Tim and Brandon will share their six evidence-based methods for treating neurogenic TOS and provide their favorite exercises. And, as always, we have two exciting announcements from ChiroUp- including a downloadable new infographic on the use of medication versus manual therapy and a new research synopsis by Walter Herzog on the safety of cervical manipulation. So, sit back, relax, and let's get started!

In today's podcast, we will discuss condition-specific prognosis, and why your treatment plan duration is dependent on the tissue injured and associated healing time, not your office policies. We will also gain an understanding of a lesser-known cause of lumbar radiculitis, which is called friction radiculitis. You will learn the factors that delay the recovery of patients with friction radiculitis including a lack of knowledge about the condition, treatment options, and obtaining the proper clinical resources for this condition. Finally, we will finish the podcast by discussing some new research studies that may just change the way you think about spinal manipulation.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), also known as “runner’s knee,” is a common condition that causes discomfort, swelling, and crepitus in the knee. It can be caused by trauma or imbalanced forces on the joint, and is often the result of muscular imbalances and excessive stress on the knee. PFPS is the most common cause of knee pain, affecting around 25% of adults and potentially as many as 10% of young athletes. It is often related to lateral tracking of the patella, which can be caused by imbalances in the stabilizing muscles of the lower extremity, as well as factors such as flat feet, hip and foot alignment, and weakness in the gluteus medius muscle. Other risk factors for PFPS include joint overload or overuse, trauma, tight lateral knee capsule, patellar hypermobility, and muscle imbalances, particularly in the quadriceps or iliotibial band. Loss of core stability is also a risk factor. Chiropractic treatment may include manual therapy, exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, and the use of orthotics or other supportive devices.

A randomized control study in The American Journal of Sports Medicine fueled this podcast. They compared treating an elbow with chronic tendinitis with a corticosteroid or treating it with conservative measures. This podcast will detail the findings, then provide real-world advice with supporting evidence surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis. Tim and Brandon will also relay past stories and patient encounters, highlighting the intersection between research and action. This podcast lets the listener immediately implement new evidence-based information into their practice. Get to know the company behind the Podcast | Try ChiroUp for Free.

This podcast will detail four findings, then provide real-world advice with supporting evidence surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Tim and Brandon will also relay past stories and patient encounters, highlighting the intersection between research and action. This podcast allows the listener to immediately implement new evidence-based information into their practice.

Maigne syndrome and cluneal neuropathy are commonly overlooked causes of pain in the lumbosacral region, iliac crest, and buttock. In fact, the pair are causative or contributory in up to 40% of LBP cases. And that prospect increases as symptoms extend over the posterior iliac crest. Maigne syndrome typically results from irritation of a thoracolumbar dorsal ramus. Facet joint dysfunction, degeneration, and instability are common culprits. Maigne syndrome is particularly elusive because the anatomical site of origin is often asymptomatic. This podcast will cover the essentials of management, including the most appropriate assessments, treatments, and exercises.
