"Backs in Motion" a Big Hit at CMCC
Dr. Herbert Lee and CMCC President Dr. Jean Moss were off to the races at this year's "Backs in Motion" walk/run event.
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) raised more than $50,000 through its annual "Backs in Motion" campaign, a run/walk event designed to bring in funding for chiropractic education.
CMCC's Board of Governors collected $25,000, nearly half of the total proceeds raised for the contest. Dr. Doug Brown, a longtime supporter of CMCC, took home the top prize for pledges collected by a run/walk participant, garnering over $4,000 in pledges. Dr. Katherine Wood-Bastedo won the grand prize, a trip for two to Orlando, Florida.
One of the highlights of the day occurred when Dr. Herbert Lee, a founding member of CMCC, "challenged" CMCC President Dr. Jean Moss to a race in the 5k walk. Each contestant received a few unexpected gifts to "help" them during the race: a heavy wheelbarrow for Dr. Moss, and a mountain bike for Dr. Lee. It was a close battle, but Dr. Lee and his bicycle prevailed in the end.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
