UPFRONT | From the editor Innovate to grow “The first step is to establish that something is possible – then probability will occur.” These are words from tech billionaire Elon Musk, one of the biggest innovators of the 21st century. Everything that we enjoy today -the gadgets, the Internet, smart appli-ances and devices -began as a concept that came to fruition because someone acted on that idea. In the last several decades, we have seen so many advances in technology than at any other point in history, and they have significantly changed the way we live, the way we communicate, the way we do our jobs and the way we find personal fulfillment. It is also interesting to note that some of the greatest inventions in recent history were not exactly products of eccentric geniuses that locked them-selves up in a room trying to solve complex equations, with unkempt hair and wrinkly collars yelling, “Eureka!” everytime they make a breakthrough. The most innovative ideas and inventions in the last century began from ordinary people, either trying to find solutions to our day-to-day challenges or challenging the way we traditionally do things. Mark Zuckerberg was a university student who wanted to find a way to communicate more effectively with other students at Harvard University – so Facebook was born. Amazon began as a website that only sold books that were being shipped from its CEO Jeff Bezos’ garage. Great inventors and innovators can come from different walks of life, professions and backgrounds. In our cover story, we feature one such innovator who hails from the chiropractic profession – and from Canada. His passion for sports and the desire to help future athletes be more safe while playing the game they love drove Dr. Kevin Jackson to summon his inner inventor. It is likely many others in the chiropractic profession are engaged in some form of innovative and groundbreaking initiatives in varying degrees. We at Canadian Chiropractor would like to hear about them and perhaps share them with our readers. We are just an e-mail away – another great modern invention.
