Canadian and U.S. Chiro. Students Spike and Dig

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) of Toronto, Ontario held their first annual CMCC Volleyball Classic back in March of 1990. The goal of the event was to promote education, communication, and the development of friendships through competition.

Due to the success of the initial tournament, a second annual was planned. Sixteen invitations went out to chiropractic colleges across North America. CMCC hopes to eventually host all the North American colleges and as many chiropractic colleges as possible from around the world.

The second annual CMCC Invitational Volleyball Classic was held January 17-18 with ten teams participating. Four U.S. colleges were represent: Logan, Northwestern, Palmer, and National Chiropractic.

The tournament began with the ten teams competing in a round robin format. The winners of the round robin met in the playoffs to determine the championship matchup. CMCC and Palmer College met in the finals in a close, intense contest that saw CMCC repeat as the champions of the second annual CMCC Invitational Volleyball Classic.

During and after the competition the players and fans were able to socialize at the local pub and at an eminently fine eatery, where ideas were exchanged and chiropractic philosophies shared.

The 1992 tournament is already being planned, and organizers hope to see even greater participation from U.S. chiropractic colleges.

When Radiculopathy Isn't Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 1)
hen Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series

Radicular-like pain of the upper and lower extremities is among the most common presentations in musculoskeletal and spine-related practice. Traditionally, these symptoms are interpreted through a disc-centric and dermatomal framework, often leading clinicians to attribute limb pain, paresthesia or perceived weakness to spinal nerve-root pathology. While this approach is appropriate in cases of true radiculopathy, it frequently falls short when symptoms fail to follow consistent dermatomal patterns or correlate poorly with imaging findings.

Chronic Sciatica: Ending the Relapse Cycle
Chronic Sciatica: Ending the Relapse Cycle

A 46-year-old male presented to our clinic with a seven-year history of recurrent low back pain with sciatica. He reported stiffness and discomfort that worsened with prolonged sitting both at his desk job and during evening television time. The patient had seen multiple chiropractors over the years. In every case, spinal manipulation and other passive treatments would bring gradual symptom relief over 2-3 months. However, within another 3-6 months, the symptoms would return. Frustrated – and now considering a spinal injection and possibly surgery if that failed, he came to our office seeking a different approach.
