"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.

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

Dolly Parton's Connection to Chiropractic

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
