President’s Message
Chris deGraauw, DC, FRCCSS(C)
It feels appropriate for our
summer edition of the Sport
Report to focus on "Physical
Activity" (PA). I hope all our
members have enjoyed staying
active this summer and leading
by example. Whether golfing,
hiking, biking or paddling, it is
"vital" to be getting a minimum
of 150 minutes per week of
moderate and vigorous activity to
realize the significant health
benefits. Please read "Physical
Activity" is the "New Vital Sign"
in the sport report to confirm
why it is so important to be checking PA levels in our
patients. It highlights inter-professional collaboration
between the RCCSS, CSEP, CASEM, CPA, and other
health care professionals, in the Exercise Is Medicine
Canada National Task Force. In fact, our Board has
recently committed funds towards the development
and distribution of an Exercise Prescription pad for all
health professionals. The task force is also in the
process of developing a joint position paper to continue
the promotion of physical activity for chronic disease
prevention and management strategies to improve the
health of Canadians. It will also highlight the safety of
exercise prescription and the need for health care
professionals to be assessing, prescribing and
counselling patients in physical activity.

I would also like to congratulate Dr. Scott Howitt for his upcoming
presentation at CASEM’s Endurance Sport Medicine Conference in
September and particularly his talk on Exercise Is Medicine at the OCA
conference in October. It is talks like this and Dr. Michelle LaFramboise's
talk on PA and Canadian children, that will continue to lead and inform
our profession on exercise medicine. Please see the details in this sport
report regarding the complimentary webinars now available in the
members section of our website.
Since we have been talking about
vigorous activity that leads us to our
upcoming "Run Faster" conference this
November. Drs. Brad Muir and Scott
Howitt have put together a phenomenal
line up for us to experience an integrated
approach to this topic. I truly believe this
conference is worth the travel for our out
of town members.
Just as important as earning our CE
credits and the thirst for continued
professional development, is our Royal
Celebration!! On the Saturday night of
the conference, the RCCSS will come
together for the purpose of celebrating
the monumental commitment and impact
Dr. Brian Seaman has had on our
organization's growth, stability and
maturity
during

October 5th in Toronto
To those attending the Ontario Chiropractor Association conference
in October, be sure to support one of our fellows Dr. Scott Howitt as
he delivers a timely presentation / call to action for Ontario
chiropractors to embrace the exercise is medicine movement.
Exercise is Medicine (EIM) is rapidly spreading around the globe
and there are now 31 national task forces including Canada. The
EIM initiative provides a great opportunity to hit on a topic that can
unify multiple disciplines and perhaps the chiropractic profession
itself.
Dr. Howitt will explain the value of incorporating exercise into
patient care to improve overall wellness and further analyze the
difficult challenge of changing patient behaviors.

From August 12-18, 2013, the waterfront in Halifax, Nova Scotia, was
transformed into a tennis court for an exhibition match between former
ATP players Jim Courier and Mikael Pemfors. Then a beach volleyball
court was created, complete with grandstands, for the inaugural Canada
Cup, featuring pro mens and womens teams from Canada, USA, England
and Germany.
Once again Dr, Brian Seaman DC, FRCCSS(C), FICC was appointed as
Medical Coordinator for the event, having served in this role last year
(2012) for the FIVB Jr World Beach Volleyball Championships.
Dr.
Seaman compiled a team of chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage
therapists to look after the athletes, including two sports chiropractic
residents who volunteered their time; Dr Chuck Dauphinee and Dr Warren
Hefford.
There was also a chiropractic component with the competitors; Dr Josh
Binstock (CMCC Class of 2009) was one of the Canadian team
members. Along with partner Sam Schachter, they put on a great show
although coming up short in the final, losing to the other Canadian team
of Sam Pedlow and Grant O’Gorman. On the womens side, the Canadian
team of Sarah Pavan and Heather Bansley, captured the Canada Cup
against the USA team.
The medical team was
well utilized by all of
the competitors with
each of the professions
providing an important
component to the care
and treatment of the
athletes. Derek Martin,
President of Sports and
Entertainment Atlantic,
which organizes the

ISBN: 978-1-931046-72-5
Movement describes a system of screening, assessment and correction
that is applicable to the entire field of health and fitness professionals.
The first section discusses why movement screens are necessary and
outlines problems with the current diagnostic systems used within
musculoskeletal care. Great care is given to describing when movement
screening is appropriate and when it should be modified or omitted
completely. The second section details the Functional Movement Screen
(FMS) and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA).
Common mistakes are discussed and instruction is given on seamless
integration into daily practice. Both systems are accompanied by clear
pictures, a companion website and an appendix full of resources. The final
section delves into managing the results of the FMS and SFMA with
corrective exercise. However, this is not a ‘cookbook recipe’ and only the
principles and methods of corrective exercise are detailed; the user is
tasked with their implementation. Movement is often repetitive, is
selectively referenced and minor grammatical mistakes are littered
throughout along with confusing language and double negatives that
require editing. Overall, Movement is an excellent education on the basic
tenets of human movement as well as a description of how to screen and
correct dysfunctional patterns. A must read for those who have learned
the basics of physical examination and rehabilitation protocols and are
looking to take their clinical skills to the next level.

The long held story of the origins of baseball goes
something like this. A dispute regarding baseball’s
origin between two prominent turn of the century
baseball aficionados Albert Spalding, who contended
that baseball was invented by an American, and Henry
Chadwick, who contended that baseball was evolved
from an English game known as Rounders, resulted in
the Mills Commission.

This seven man commission, appointed by Spalding

with discovering the truth about who invented baseball.
In a less-than-scientific manner, the commission sent
out a call across the country “for people who had
knowledge of the beginnings of the game”. This call
was answered by a then 71 year old Abner Graves of
Denver, Colorado, who suggested that he recalled that
Abner Doubleday, a prominent Major General of the
US Army and Civil War hero, had shown him drawings
of a field in the dirt and on paper. This all happened in
Cooperstown, New York when Graves and Doubleday
both called the now site of the Baseball Hall of Fame
home in 1839.
This was enough for the Mills Commission to declare
that baseball, as they knew it, was in fact invented by an
American and not of English origins. It didn’t matter
that Graves was only 5 at the time and Doubleday
was attending West Point in 1839. Albert Spalding
(yes of Spalding sporting goods fame) had what he
wanted. Spalding and his entrepreneurial spirit went
on a campaign to have baseball become “America’s
Pastime”.

Baseball’s Creation Myth Continued.
The Canadian Connection
The Doubleday myth has essentially
been dismissed as just that – but it
does add to the intrigue of this story.
Where did Abner Graves come up
with such a tall tale? Was it his own
fertile imagination or was it based
on something he too had heard?
Enter Dr. Adam Ford.
Ford’s
part in this tale is researched and
recounted by Chip Martin, a London
Free Press reporter and author
of the book “Baseball’s Creation
Myth”. According to Martin, Dr.
Adam Ford was born on a farm
outside of Beachville, Ontario, a
small farming community located
between Woodstock and Ingersoll.
Beachville is believed to be the
location of the first ever recorded
game of baseball in 1838 that was
apparently witnessed by a young
Adam Ford. How the recalling of
this game made its way to the ears of
Abner Graves all the way in Denver
is the crux of Martin’s book.
Martin suggests that Ford, who was
a respected doctor in St. Mary’s,
Ontario (ironically the home of
the Canadian Baseball Hall of
Fame) who rightly or wrongly was
accused of poisoning a Temperance
leader in St. Mary’s. Although
never convicted, the accusations
were enough to cause Ford to
move - to Denver, Colorado of all
places. Martin contends that Ford
and Graves, neither one considered
to be model citizens, would have
crossed paths several times due to
their shared love of baseball and
boozing. Both apparently shared an
aptitude for storytelling as well and
Martin feels that at some point Ford
would have shared his childhood
memory of the 1838 game with
Graves. When the “call” went out
to those who knew the beginnings
of “America’s Pastime”, it seems
Graves put an American spin on
it; a spin that included a Civil War
hero and a small, all-American,
upstate New York town called
Cooperstown.
It could be argued that Ford may
have made up his story based on
Graves’ account of the events at
Cooperstown. Ford’s version of
the story seems to be corroborated
by the fact that he wrote a piece for
Sporting Life in 1886 recounting
his memories of the 1838 game in
Beachville. Chip Martin also feels
that the Beachville story holds up
to scrutiny much more so than the
Cooperstown rendition.
It seems that not only was the
first recorded game of “America’s
Pastime” played in Canada, but the
Cooperstown myth may also have
its origins in Canada. It seems it
really is “so long Mr. Spalding” to
America’s version of the origins of
baseball.
Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps
the parents off the streets.

Blue Jay Brandon Morrow - Entrapped Radial Nerve
T
oronto Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow has been
sidelined due to forearm stiffness for a good portion of
the season. Trouble is, every time Morrow would rest, the
stiffness would dissipate and as soon as he would resume
pitching, the stiffness would return. This is an uncommon
pattern for a muscular injury and, after a consultation with
renowned orthopedic surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, it was
discovered that Morrow had his radial nerve entrapped in
his forearm. Dr. Andrews name is familiar to all baseball
players and particularly pitchers – he has prolonged many
a career performing Tommy John surgery – a procedure
developed by Dr. Frank Jobe.
When the radial nerve becomes entrapped, it can cause
numbness and tingling into the hand and forearm, weakness
in the muscles it supplies, and can cause achy pain that can
radiate from the back of the shoulder to the elbow and even
sometimes all the way to the hand. Nerves need to be the
most flexible of any of our tissues because they have the
longest distance to travel. They also have the most tortuous
route on the way to their destination – a route that can be
blocked at many points along the way. When it gets blocked
or entrapped, the nerve gets irritated making it difficult to
carry out its intended functions. Nerves can be entrapped
by inflamed muscles, tendons and joints, cysts, scar tissue,
external forces (braces, crutches …) and fractured bones.
The radial nerve is one of three nerves, the others being
the median and ulnar nerves, that supplies sensation to the
hand as well as a motor branch to the muscles of the hand
and forearm. The median and ulnar nerves tend to be better
known to most people – the median nerve is the nerve affected
in those with carpal tunnel syndrome, and the ulnar nerve
is the nerve that causes the pain associated with whacking
your funny bone – which is never that funny. The radial
nerve is formed by the nerves that leave the spinal cord from
the fifth cervical nerve to the first thoracic nerve. It leaves
the area under your armpit and exits through a space at the
back of the arm. It runs along the back and side of the arm
at which point it supplies the triceps muscle. As it travels
into the forearm, it splits at or near one of the muscles in
the forearm called the supinator muscle to send a branch to
supply sensation to most of the back of the hand and fingers.
The other branch from the split supplies the wrist extensor
muscles – the muscles that are the issue in tennis elbow or
lateral epicondylosis.
Because of its many functions, an entrapped radial nerve
can be debilitating for a pitcher as Brandon Morrow has
discovered. With his new diagnosis, hopefully Morrow can
get the proper treatment, avoid season ending surgery and
get back to the Blue Jays rotation as soon as possible. They
clearly need the help!!
