About
Sports chiropractic is a branch of chiropractic for those with an interest and expertise in providing care to athletes.
Sports chiropractic is growing rapidly nationally and internationally, and is well established at many world-level sporting events, such as the Olympic Games and the World Games.
Chiropractors are often labelled “spine only” due to reasons that range from self-promotion by chiropractors to misrepresentations by non-chiropractors.
A research article published in 2021, “A descriptive study of sports chiropractors with an International Chiropractic Sport Science Practitioner qualification: a cross‑sectional survey” revealed that Sports Chiropractors commonly treat ‘non-spinal conditions’. The research identified some interesting trends that General Chiropractors (usually spine and adjustment only) prescribed rehabilitation much less (31% of visits) than Sports Chiropractors (76% of visits). Furthermore, the practice style differed significantly. Sports Chiropractors are likely to utilize a multimodal approach in their practice (soft-tissue therapy, mobilisation, taping, low force techniques, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, and active therapy). Sports Chiropractors are not bound by ‘spinal only’ identity, instead we implement the best available evidence to broaden our scope of practice.
