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."
Operation Desert Correction
During the Gulf War and its aftermath, over half of the members of the New York Chiropractic Council (NYCC) have volunteered to give free chiropractic care to immediate family members of service personnel stationed in the Persian Gulf.
Council members call their program Operation Desert Correction. The program has received praise and the NYCC chiropractors have been glad to show their support of the troops and their families.
