U.C. Berkeley Extension Begins Offering Anatomy Lab Courses at Life West

As of Sept. 3, the University of California Berkeley Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions Program has begun using the anatomy facilities at Life Chiropractic College West for its Human Anatomy Laboratory course.

"We are excited to work with such a prestigious program as UC Berkeley Extension," said Dr. Joseph Ferguson, Life West dean. "By offering exceptional facilities and ample support and cooperation, we aim to create a productive environment for their students to excel. It is our hope to build upon this relationship and offer additional classes over time."

As U.C. Berkeley Extension began expanding its programs into both East and South Bay regions, the university sought local facilities to accommodate its anatomy students. Easy access to both Highway 92 and I-880 freeways, along with ample parking, were valuable features making Life West an attractive choice. Future courses will be scheduled during evening and/or weekend hours when Life West classes are not in session.

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.
