LeRoy Perry Jr., DC

Dr. LeRoy Perry Jr., president and founder of the West Los Angeles-based International Sportscience Institute (ISI), was the first chiropractor to serve as an official Olympic team doctor. He co-founded (with NBA Hall of Famer, the late Wilt Chamberlain) the Foundation for Athletic Research and Education, an organization that teaches athletes how to enhance performance through proper diet, exercise and biomechanics; and chairs the Sports Science and Medical Advisory Board for America's Schools Program, a national recycling initiative that raises money for education (K-12 grade).

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced.

And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program.

The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
