Professional Football Chiropractic Society

What Professional Football Chiropractic Society does

The Professional Football Chiropractic Society (PFCS) is a private professional membership organization headquartered in Puyallup, Washington, that serves as the self-described official body for chiropractors providing care to NFL athletes. Its core deliverable is an annual Continuing Education Seminar held in Indianapolis, documented continuously from at least 2011 (11th Annual in 2017) through the 21st Annual planned for 2027, supplemented since 2023 by an annual Chiropractic Combine event that combines education with athletic performance evaluation. The organization also maintains a public-facing catalog of treatment modalities — Diversified, Logan, Flexion-Distraction, and Gonstead adjustment techniques, plus Trigger Point Therapy, IV Therapy, Spinal Decompression, Ultrasound Therapy, Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim), Cranial Facial Release, Massage Therapy, Physiotherapy, Therapeutic Adjustments, Corrective Exercises, TBI Treatment Support, Spinal & Postural Screenings, Health and Wellness Coaching, and Corporate Wellness Programs — that documents the service capabilities of its member practitioners rather than constituting proprietary technology.

PFCS generates revenue through membership fees, annual seminar registrations, and continuing education programming for its member base of NFL team chiropractors and chiropractic professionals interested in sports medicine. There is no publicly disclosed pricing, no disclosed revenue figure, no funding history, and no M&A activity. The organization operates with 1–10 employees from a PO Box mailing address, markets primarily through its website, Instagram (@profbchiros), and annual in-person events, and maintains a member directory, executive board, and Hall of Fame. Ownership is described as independent and member-controlled with no parent company, institutional investors, or external capital.

Broad incumbents

• American Physical Therapy Association (APTA): Largest US professional body for physical therapists, many of whom work in NFL and elite-sports settings. Comparable as a sports-rehabilitation professional society with CE events, specialty sections, and overlapping end-customers in pro sports.
• International Chiropractors Association (ICA): Long-standing international chiropractic professional body with continuing education programs. Comparable as a peer chiropractic society offering credentials, events, and member services, though at a much broader and more generalist scope than PFCS.
• American Chiropractic Association (ACA): The largest US professional chiropractic association. While broader in scope than PFCS, it competes for the same chiropractic professional mindshare and runs sports-chiropractic programming that overlaps with PFCS's CE seminar franchise.

Direct peers

• American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP): US certifying body for sports chiropractors (CCSP and DACBSP credentials). Directly comparable to PFCS as both organizations exist to credential and educate chiropractors who work with athletes, addressing the same member persona.
• International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (FICS): Global sports-chiropractic federation serving chiropractors who treat athletes, including at the Olympic and international level. Directly comparable to PFCS as a sports-chiropractic professional body, with overlapping member base and CE programming.
• Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP): Chiropractic advocacy and public-education nonprofit that promotes chiropractic care, including in sports settings. Comparable to PFCS in mission around advancing chiropractic's reputation and educating stakeholders, and likely an overlapping sponsor/partner network.

Others

• National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA): US professional association for athletic trainers who work alongside chiropractors in NFL and college sports medical staffs. Comparable as a peer professional society serving elite-sports healthcare providers with CE, certification, and advocacy.
• National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE): US body that administers chiropractic licensure exams. Comparable as a peer organization in the chiropractic professional ecosystem with examination, certification, and continuing-education functions, though broader in scope than PFCS.
• National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA): Professional body for strength and conditioning coaches in elite sports, including the NFL. Comparable as a professional society running CE events and certifications for sports-performance practitioners serving similar elite-athlete end customers.

Regional players

• College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences (Canada) — CCSS(C): Canadian sports-chiropractic specialty college that certifies sports chiropractors and runs CE programming. Comparable as a peer sports-chiropractic credentialing body, though primarily serving Canada rather than the US NFL market.
