Last weekend I attended the ACBSP (American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians) annual sports medicine symposium in San Diego. Besides leaving four feet of newly falling snow into warm, sunny ‘beach’ weather, the seminar was packed with great speakers and relevant sports science updates. Of interest to me were the medical directors of the USOC (United States Olympic Committee) Mike Reed, DC, DACBSP and John Reasoner, MD discussing the new model of sports care at the USOC and primary care issues during international competition at the Olympic level. Having recently returned from Beijing, several sports chiropractors also gave presentations regarding specific cases from last summer’s Olympic Games. Having been at the USOC training facility in Colorado Springs the two weeks before Beijing, it brought back great memories of that environment. Drs. Tim Brown and Doug Anderson also gave their consistent great lectures. The annual conference is also a great time to hook up with great friends and colleagues of mine from around the country.
