The New York State Chiropractic Association (NYSCA) welcomed renowned radiologist Dr. Terry Yochum and Saleem Musallam, CEO of Excite Medical, as featured speakers at its 2025 Spring Convention. The joint lecture, which addressed advances in radiology and spine care, was very well received by attendees.
Focus on Clinical Excellence
Dr. Terry Yochum, one of the most respected figures in chiropractic radiology, presented an in-depth session on advanced use of MRI imaging. His lecture provided practical strategies for physicians to better leverage imaging to improve patient outcomes, detect risks earlier, and enhance care for those suffering from low back pain, herniated discs, and bulging discs.
Saleem Musallam spoke on healthcare policy, spine research, and the importance of collaborative efforts between clinicians, researchers, and industry to advance the standard of care for spinal patients. Drawing from his experience as a healthcare systems engineer and leader in spine innovation, Musallam emphasized how evidence-based approaches can improve treatment pathways and reduce dependence on invasive procedures.
Excite Medical’s Role at the Convention
