The Postgraduate Diploma in Sports Chiropractic is a natural extension for the accredited Chiropractor with an interest in working with athletes.
Building on their previous education in the management and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions, the Chiropractor will concentrate on the assessment and management of injuries associated with sports. The practicality of the information on sports and their injuries is a primary emphasis of this course but the treatment and procedures will also be applicable to an everyday practice consisting of all types of patients. This branch of chiropractic is rapidly growing internationally and the interest in sports is worldwide.
The course is articulated with the Federation Internationale de Chiropractic du Sport (FICS) and its International Chiropractic Sports Science Diploma (ICSSD). The Postgraduate Diploma is a 24-point course of which the ICSSD provides 12 of the points.
