SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC

WHAT IS IT?

HOW CAN IT HELP MY ATHLETE?

Specialized sports chiropractic requires addition education following the 4-year chiropractic education. The program is completed through the Royal Chiropractic College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences (Canada).

 This additional education requires various field hours, hands on clinical hours in a sports rehabilitation setting, and education requirements including courses, written publications, and case reports.  

Some courses included in the education include but are not limited to:

·      Sport Injury management

·      Sports psychology

·      Sport nutrition

·      Sports rounds

·      High performance evaluation and testing

This additional education allows for more precise focused treatment for athletes of all levels, focusing on movement analysis, performance outcomes, injury management, post surgical rehabilitation and return to play decisions.
