The memories from these winter games will live on for years to come.  For chiropractic, the impact of DCs working in the games’ Host Medical Services, for the first time, will be far-reaching. As well, several chiropractors were present and working with various Canadian athletes in a number of sports categories – this was also the case for teams from other countries.

Dr. Greg Uchacz, president of the College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences of Canada, who worked with Canadian bobsled and skeleton teams during the games, comments that he finds it good to be home, and will be enjoying spending time with his family.  However, he acknowledges that these games were a highlight for the profession of chiropractic, representing years of work with the athletes, and other practitioners, to establish the profession as a major force in sports medicine. 

Look for a full interview with Dr. Uchacz, as well as other DCs who have been involved with Olympic chiropractic services, in the upcoming April issue of Canadian Chiropractor Magazine.  We will examine the Olympic journey, as experienced by the profession of chiropractic over the past several years, and ask what the next steps in that journey might be.
