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."
CBS Pulls Out of Suit Against DC
On April 3, 2003, Chiropractic Benefit Services (CBS) filed a lawsuit accusing Dynamic Chiropractic of publishing an article that contained misinformation. In addition to the lawsuit, CBS also filed for a temporary restraining order to prevent DC from publishing any articles regarding CBS.
When the court heard the motion for the restraining order, the judge specifically asked CBS for legal precedence that would allow him to restrain a national newspaper from publishing news about CBS. When the CBS lawyers failed to provide even one case, the judge made it clear he had no intention of granting the restraining order.
Having lost the first round, CBS quickly decided not to pursue further action. Before DC could even respond, CBS filed to dismiss the lawsuit on May 7, just 34 days after it was filed.
