SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractors are increasingly becoming involved in the rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, and they are enhancing their knowledge base through curricular activities, clinical experience, or post-graduate education. Opportunities exist for sports certification and diplomacy. This volume will provide the chiropractic student and practicing chiropractor with information on exercise and aerobic conditioning, injury prevention, injury management, and general issues related to contemporary sports chiropractic care. A new, previously unpublished chapter will address how to establish a sports chiropractic practice.
