             Ready to Use Your Super Powers for Good?

Did you know:

  • Over 11 million Canadians suffer with back, neck and shoulder issues – each year
  • The #1 cause of disability in the world is MSK (musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction)
  • MSK pain is the leading reason for opioid prescriptions and one of the leading reasons for E.R. visits

MSK pain and dysfunction can be relieved, improved and sometimes even eliminated with chiropractic treatment.

That’s why we need your help. We’re the CCRF – short for Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation. We invest in national evidence-based research to provide solutions that improve the health of those burdened with musculoskeletal pain and disability.

We’re looking for 4 Volunteer Sector Specialists to power up our new Partnership Committee.  Reporting to the BOD through the committee chair, its purpose is to develop exciting new partnerships, projects and relationships with the support of our small but mighty staff.  It’s a time commitment of 2-3 hours per month, in addition to a quarterly video conference.
