TORONTO, Canada -- In December 1995, Edward Barisa, executive director of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, presented a $30,000 donation check to CMCC President Dr. Jean Moss on behalf of the association's convention committee. This is the largest single donation toward chiropractic research that the college has ever received.

A large part of the funding will go toward a new science laboratory for several of CMCC's top researchers, allowing faculty to share valuable resources and collaborate on research projects.

"The generosity of the convention committee will open up several new possibilities for the advancement of chiropractic research at CMCC," said Dr. Moss. "We are grateful for (their) support in our goal to enhance the profession through high caliber, progressive research."

A leader in chiropractic research, CMCC and its researchers attracted more than $700,000 in new external funding for research activities in 1995. During the centennial convention of the Canadian Chiropractic Assoc., CMCC faculty placed first, second and third in the research platform awards.

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.
