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."
NBCE Diplomate Certificate Status Clarified
The NBCE Board of Directors has announced that those individuals who received an NBCE Diplomate certificate prior to February 1983 may rightfully use that designation. However, those who completed the National Board exams after this date, and received an NBCE Certificate of Attainment, are not eligible to use the term "Diplomate," but rather are designated National Board of Chiropractic Examiners certificate holders.
Unauthorized use of the NBCE Diplomate credential constitutes a fraudulent action. The NBCE takes whatever measures are within its scope of power to prevent the misuse of NBCE certificate or transcript information; beyond those measures, regretably, it can assume no responsibility for the assertion of inaccurate credentials by individuals in the field.
