The 2015 Chiropractic Sports Sciences Symposium Was a Wonderful Success The theme of the 2015 Chiropractic Sports Science Symposium (2015 CSSS), held in Anaheim, CA, April 24-26, was comprised of evidence-based updates in sports medicine. Presentations included strength and conditioning, prehospital care of spine-injured athletes, conservative management of spine-related disorders, upper and lower extremity injuries, nutrition, manipulation and vertebral artery dissection, chronic postconcussive impairment, occult instability of the knee, surgical approach to femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears, applying and contributing to the sports medicine evidence base, cased-based ethics, radiographic interpretation of sports injuries, and trauma and surgical interventions for upper extremity conditions. There were 24 presenters from multiple disciplines including chiropractic, medical, osteopathic, acupuncture, athletic training, physical therapy, and strength and conditioning. Four outstanding keynote speakers, Jim Muir, Sinjin Smith, John Smith, and Ian Walsh, provided plenary addresses. In addition to presentations and workshops, the 2015 CSSS included a student reception and an awards luncheon. Eileen Hayworth, DC, received an award recognizing her as the first chiropractor to serve with the United States Olympic team in 1984. Jim Kurtz, DC, DACBSP, DACRB, team chiropractor for the Seattle

Seahawks and recipient of a 2014 Super Bowl ring, was recognized as the 2015 Sports Chiropractor of the Year. Abstract award recipients were David Foster, DC, DACBSP (Best Original Research–Leonard Schroeder Award); Christopher Roecker, DC, DACBSP (Best Multi-Disciplinary Abstract); Gerald Anzalone, DC (Best Abstract–John N. Nash Award); and Matthew Rose, DC, MD (Robert C. Reed Award). Joe Horrigan, DC, DACBSP, chairperson of the 2015 CSSS, developed a vision for this event after conversing with a colleague who remarked that he always attends specific conferences each year because if he missed one, he would become obsolete. This conversation inspired Dr Horrigan and the ACBSP to set the goal of making the annual CSSS so powerful that participants appreciate the value in attending and learning about up-to-date sports practice information. As the ACBSP plans future symposia, it will continue this trend of excitement, dissemination of invaluable information, and highquality speakers to make the CSSS an event that cannot be missed.
