The International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (French: Federation Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport or FICS) is an international organization that promotes sports chiropractic around the world. It is composed of national sports chiropractic councils, or national associations, from many countries such as Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Turkey,[2] United States, and the United Kingdom.[3][4][5]

History

FICS was formed in 1987, and has its headquarters in the Maison du Sport Internationale[6] in Lausanne, Switzerland.[7] It also maintains an administrative office in Canberra, Australia.[8]

Credentials granted

The International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC) offers an International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC), a post-graduate professional qualification in sports chiropractic.[9] Depending on the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Doctor practices, (ICSC) may be a requirement for a chiropractor to participate as a FICS sports chiropractor at an international event.[10][11] For example, Sports Chiropractors must complete their ICSC before being selected to provide care at Sporting Federation Games.

Awards and honors

The FICS Executive Board bestows various awards upon individuals whom they deem to have made considerable contributions to the professional specialty of sports chiropractic. These awards include "Sports Chiropractor of the Year"[12] and FICS' Gold Medal.[13] The latter is considered one of the highest awards that sports chiropractors can earn internationally.

In 2011 at the World Chiropractic Congress, in Rio de Janeiro, they awarded the "FICS' Founder's Award" to Dr. Stephen Press, one of FICS' founder and first president.[14][15]

Pro bono work

FICS has promoted the participation of chiropractors in sports medicine teams, and has organized chiropractors to provide treatment at many national and international sporting events including the winter and summer Olympics.[11][7] It has held Congresses in Mexico City,[16][17] Rome, the United States (e.g., New Jersey and Washington, DC), Australia, Iowa, Montreal, and Tokyo;[18] and sent delegations to Moscow, Africa,[19] and Caracas.[20]
