Aug. 1-15, on the Stanford University campus. |
Members of the West Campus Sports
Council provided chiropractic sports
care services to more than 800 competitors
in the 2009 National Senior
Games Aug. 1-15. The games are the
largest multi-sport event in the world
for seniors and drew more than 10,000
athletes to participate in the competition
held primarily at Stanford
University in Palo Alto, Calif., which
was the primary location for the event.
The Sports Council worked as part of
an integrative healthcare team with
residents from the Stanford University
Medical Center, who referred any
conditions that were musculoskeletal
in nature to the Palmer Sports
Council tent.
“I can’t help feeling proud about our
Sports Council’s recent experience
working alongside other health
providers at the National Senior
Games,” said West Campus President
William Meeker, D.C., M.P.H., West
’82. “This is truly a high level of visibility
for Palmer College and for chiropractic
in general, and it demonstrates
the value that the organizers saw in
making chiropractic care available to
these amazing athletes.”
West Campus alumni who served as
Sports Council clinicians during the
two-week event included: Associate
Clinical professor Pauline Anderson,
D.C., ’90; Steve Capobianco, D.C.,
’03; West Campus Professor and
Sports Council Adviser Edward
Feinberg, D.C., ‘83; Tony Kearns,
D.C., ’07; and West Campus professor
Mehdi Moossavi, M.S., D.C., ’92. In
addition, Taylor Rabbetz, D.C., ’00,
was instrumental in helping to facilitate
the opportunity for the Sports
Council to serve as the event’s chiropractic
provider.
