This survey asked Canadian national team athletes about their use of chiropractic care within a multidisciplinary sports medicine setting, alongside physiotherapists, doctors and other practitioners. Only one figure from this study could be confirmed via a citing source.
What was studied?
The survey looked at how elite Canadian national team athletes use chiropractic care as part of their overall healthcare team, including satisfaction and reasons for using it. The full paper could not be accessed directly.
What did they find?
Roughly two-thirds of Canadian national team athletes reported using chiropractic care, according to a source citing this study. Other statistics, such as satisfaction rates or specific reasons for use, could not be confirmed without direct access to the paper.
Why it matters
Even a single confirmed figure is a useful, real-world data point. It shows chiropractic care is a mainstream, widely used part of elite athletes' healthcare, not a marginal or unusual choice.
Why we included it
It illustrates chiropractic's established place within coordinated, multidisciplinary healthcare teams, treating it as one part of a wider system working alongside other professionals rather than a standalone service.
