When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
First Chiropractic Residency Program at VA Hospital
New York Chiropractic College (NYCC) recently announced it has partnered with the Canandaigua VA Medical Center in Canandaigua, N.Y., to create an integrated care chiropractic residency program – the first such program to be established at a Veterans Administration health care facility, according to the college.
NYCC residents will work alongside VA providers and experience rotations with specialists in neurology, orthopedics, physiatry, pain management, primary care and physical therapy at the medical center. NYCC has an existing relationship with Canandaigua VAMC; it operates several academic and research programs at the center.
