The American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) has named Dr. Laney Nelson, director of the Biofreeze Sports & Rehabilitation Center at Logan College of Chiropractic/University Programs, its Sports Chiropractor of the Year. The award was announced during the ACBSP's Chiropractic Sports Sciences Symposium, held April 26-29 in Portland, Ore.
ACBSP Associate Director Jenny Schnell said the Chiropractor of the Year Award is the top award given by the organization. Those considered for the award must be ACBSP-certified and active in the field of chiropractic sports. Candidates are nominated and voted on by previous award winners.
"I feel very blessed to be recognized by a group whose sole purpose and mission is to elevate athletic performance," said Dr. Nelson. "While it's an honor for me, I must give credit to Logan for supporting my work and creativity that led to this award."
George A. Goodman, DC, FICC, president of Logan College, said he is extraordinarily proud of Dr. Nelson's accomplishments and the direction he has taken the Logan Biofreeze center.
Established in 1980, the ACBSP is comprised of more than 5,000 board-certified chiropractors. Its goal is to promote the highest standards of excellence and clinical competence for chiropractors specializing in sports medicine and physical fitness. Dr. Nelson will have the privilege of speaking at the 2013 Chiropractic Sports Sciences Symposium, held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., to confer the award to the next recipient.
"I think it goes without saying that this year's award was very well deserved," Schnell said. "This was the first time Dr. Nelson spoke at the symposium. He presented information on the topic of chiropractic management of concussion and those in attendance were blown away by his lecture."

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."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
