Abstract: Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) see approximately 10%
of the US population in a given year making them among
the most visited practitioners outside of conventional medicine
for general health problems and especially back and
neck conditions.1,2 In addition, one of the fastest growing
areas of specialty treatment is in the area of sports injury.
Today, most professional teams, the US Olympic Team, and
many college or high school sports programs have a DC
either on staff or available to treat athletes as part of the
sports medicine team.3,4 There are also specialty programs
for training of DCs in the area of sports medicine as well
as pediatric care.5
