Sports Chiropractic also known as Chiropractic sports sciences/medicine is an emerging sub-specialty of Chiropractic medicine which is generally a 2 year post-graduate residency program and received a designation of certified chiropractic sports specialist CCSS (Canada)[1] or at a minimum acceptance into a Masters Degree in Sports medicine program to be eligible for accredition.[2] The American equivalent appears to be the Diplomate of the American board of sports physicians (DABSP).[3]

Clinical Focus

The focus of chiropractic sports specialists is to provide expert care in the conservative management, rehabilitation and performance optimization of neuromusculoskeletal system for elite athletic populations and to participate in a multi-disciplinary sports injury care environment.

Professional Sports

Currently 31% of National Football League teams use a doctor of chiropractic in an official capacity on their medical staff.[4]

Olympics

Chiropractic sports medicine specialists first began treating Olympic athletes in limited at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Since then, chiropractic representation at the Olympics has steadily grown. As part of a demonstration project, for the first time in Olympic history, chiropractic care will be fully integrated and in treating athletes in the polyclinic in 2010 at the Winter Olympics games in Vancouver.[5][6]

Integration: advances and barriers

A defining feature of sport medicine is an emphasis on performance, and patient-centered practice; these two elements have provided the main grounds for the inclusion of chiropractic care in sport medicine.[7] According to Theberge, "Chiropractors' success in achieving acceptance on sport medicine teams is contingent on two factors: (a) reduced scope of practice in which they work primarily as manual therapists; and (b) the exemplary performance of individual practitioners who 'fit' into multi-disciplinary sport medicine teams."[8] Although arguments against the inclusion of chiropractic may be legitimate due to its historical baggage, much of the argument of orthodox sports medicine appears to be anti-competitive, insecure and driven by a closed-shop mentality.[9]
