Most chiropractors think sports chiropractic means landing a job with a professional team.

But there are only a few teams — and thousands of athletes.

In this episode of the ICA Sports & Fitness Science Council ChiroCast, Dr. Brant Hulsebus talks with Dr. Kevin Jackson about the real pathway into sports chiropractic: working one-on-one with athletes in your community and building trust that naturally grows into teams.

They discuss how athletes actually enter a practice, why availability matters more than marketing, and the difference between showing up on the sideline versus trying to be the center of attention. The conversation also covers common mistakes chiropractors make when working around coaches and other providers, and why you’re not just treating a spine — you’re protecting a career.

If you want to work with athletes but don’t have a team contract, this episode explains how successful sports practices are actually built.
