Palmer College Receives Historic $4 Million Gift

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff  |  DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

A Florida couple has donated $4 million to Palmer College of Chiropractic – the largest single donation from an individual or couple in the college’s 126-year history.  With the gift, Palmer has far surpassed its goal of raising $25 million through its “Daring and Driven” fundraising campaign.

“As friends and admirers of Palmer College and its Florida campus, our gift is an investment in an organization – truly an economic engine – that is elevating the well-being of the citizens of Volusia County and beyond,” said the donors, who wish to remain anonymous, in a Palmer press release announcing the historic donation. “This gift will support the people who do the meaningful and important work of educating future chiropractors – the graduates who eventually go out into their communities and transform lives through their care.”

The “Daring and Driven” campaign stood at $29.8 million after the $4 million donation, aided by recent $3.3 million and $1 million donations by other benefactors, as reported in our August issue.

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.
