Singapore is now one of the affiliate National Chiropractic Sports Councils under FICS (Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport), the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic.
At The Chiropractic Association (Singapore)’s 2024 AGM, members unanimously voted under a resolution to reactivate a National Sports Council under TCA(S), as an affiliate of FICS (International Federation of Sports Chiropractic). The FICS General Assembly in March 2025 ratified our Singapore NCSC (National Chiropractic Sports Councils) inclusion as an Ordinary Member under the FICS statutes. Singapore thus successfully joined six other countries in the Asia region (https://fics.sport/asia-2/). As of June 2025 there are 10 TCA(S) members who are also members of this TCA(S)-Sports Chiropractic Council. We trust this positions our chiropractic profession and association to further advocate for sports chiropractic in Singapore and beyond. Altra Running Singapore was also secured as a sponsor for the council soon after its formation, read more at https://altrarunning.sg/blogs/news/what-you-cant-see-what-matters-most
