Papers

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an important issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to. This is especially important for the sport chiropractic profession because so few people really know what sport chiropractors do and what they can do.  This is why sport chiropractors need to steadily build a base of information about different topics - to demonstrate their scope of interest and knowledge.  The following are links to ACBSP™ and other organization's position papers:
