PBCS/PHCS Symposium

PBCS/PHCS Annual Workshop

The Professional Baseball and Hockey Chiropractic Societies have teamed up this year to co-sponsor a workshop to be held alongside the Florida Chiropractic Association’s Southwest Regional Convention and Expo. This will be the annual workshop for the DCs that provide care for teams in MLB and their minor league affiliates. The hockey DCs meet in June for their annual team DC workshop, but the PHCS partners with the PBCS in this event at the FCA SW as well. The exciting thing, is that it is open for all D.C.s and chiropractic students to attend (see registration form for details). In addition to the MLB DCs, you may find a few NHL DCs sprinkled in attendance as well.

Learn from professionals who work in professional baseball and hockey. Ask them questions in our very popular Expert Panel Discussion. Meet and visit with the chiropractors that work on these amazing athletes from MLB and the NHL. We also have appearances from some special guests you will love to hear from, who will share their personal experiences with chiropractic.

Who is the Professional Baseball or Hockey Chiropractic Society

The Professional Baseball and Hockey Chiropractic Societies (PBCS & PHCS) are organizations of highly skilled chiropractors that provide care to the players and staff of the MLB and NHL teams and their minor league affiliates. The PHCS’s mission is to provide the highest quality of chiropractic health service to the individual player and staff members of the team they serve. In addition, the PHCS serves its members by providing continuing education for the professional sports chiropractor as it relates to the profession, helping their understanding and knowledge and application of sports medicine and ancillary services.

Our primary goal is to enhance the health and performance of each and every individual athlete and staff member so that they may express their optimal health potential. Another important goal is to serve as a resource to educate those outside the professional hockey chiropractic community about the profession and the chiropractor’s integral role within the sports medicine team.

For many years professional athletes have utilized Chiropractic care to help them get through the rigors and physical demands of the season in a variety of sports. Just about every team in the NHL, MLB, the NBA, and the NFL has chiropractors on staff to provide Chiropractic care to their players each and every game. Chiropractic care has been a vital component in helping many of the biggest stars in professional sports recover faster from injuries, keep themselves healthy by preventing repetitive movement injuries, and enhance their performance throughout their long and tedious seasons. Some of the most successful players have been major supporters of chiropractic and have expressed their personal success stories in many media outlets throughout the years. These testimonials bring about a vital awareness for the public about the benefits of chiropractic care. This was one of the key reasons that these organizations were formed.

The PHCS holds annual workshops with continuing education opportunities for the chiropractors that provide care to the teams of the NHL. Experts from various medical disciplines present valuable techniques and scientific information that is designed to enhance and expand the repertoire of the chiropractor’s skill set.
