Integration: advances and barriers
A defining feature of sport medicine is an emphasis on performance, and patient-centered practice; these two elements have provided the main grounds for the inclusion of chiropractic care in sport medicine. According to Theberge, "Chiropractors' success in achieving acceptance on sport medicine teams is contingent on two factors: (a) reduced scope of practice in which they work primarily as manual therapists; and (b) the exemplary performance of individual practitioners who 'fit' into multi-disciplinary sport medicine teams."
