As many Pride festivities kick-off throughout Canada this month, the CCA was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with Priyanka, the winner of Canada’s Drag Race. She also happens to be a regular chiropractic patient!
The CCGI has been involved in projects with the World Health Organization in response to the WHO Rehabilitation 2030 call for action, which is committed to developing a Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation to support integrating rehabilitation services into health systems.

An interprofessional project to model the integration of NMSK care on funded primary care teams: This study provides the opportunity to model the integration of chiropractors as integrated MSK experts in funded primary care teams in Canada.” - Dr. Kopansky-Giles
Does your job find you sitting most of the day? While sitting seems restful, staying in any one position for long periods of time can cause strain and injury to your muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments.
Anyone can fall, but the risk of slips and trips increases as you get older. Every year one in three Canadians over 65 will fall – often with serious consequences. Hip, wrist and pelvic fractures are common in this age group and can take a toll on independence and quality of life.
Just like the infectious period of COVID-19, the signs and symptoms of Long COVID are on a spectrum, ranging from a mild residual cough, to more severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and nerve or muscle damage.
As we age we are generally more susceptible to develop injuries, aches and pain. Canada’s chiropractors are committed to helping Canadians live healthy lives by reducing the risk of falls, injury and disability.
Many Canadians are deep into their favourite sports and recreational activities this summer. A common result of recreational sports is repetitive strain or injury due to overuse.
Pride festivities are taking place in many Canadian cities in June and July and we wanted to find out how our LGBTQ+ chiropractors celebrate pride and what chiropractors can do to help create an inclusive environment for patients not just through a single month — but throughout the year.
