What if we could scientifically investigate and validate where chiropractic gets results and why? We now have the ability to do exactly that. This was one of the remarkable insights that emerged at the CMCC Research Symposium, which brought together some of the most brilliant minds in the profession and highlighted emerging trends in key areas of chiropractic research and patient care.

Held February 1, 2008 at the CMCC Campus, the symposium featured speakers who shared insights from their work in interdisciplinary health dynamics, the role of movement in reducing back pain, and injury repair and recovery through the lens of mechano-transduction.

This symposium was long overdue and we hope to make it a regular event. Given the positive feedback, it was a resounding success. Here’s just one example:

“Having a gathering where field practitioners are welcomed to hear and share in presentations such as today is a good thing long missing. Practitioners do not have the ability to pay large sums for meetings that may offer little for their role as clinicians. As a result the college and the alumni become estranged. There is greater strength in unity and a stronger profession will result.”
