Welcome to the |
Russian Chiropractic Association's |
Web Page |
We are also a National Association member of the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic [FICS] which is recognized by the World Olympian's Association.
Despite our small size, we maintain the difference between the local medical "Khiropraktors", and the Western profession of Chiropractic. The RCA was founded in 1992 by Dr. Stephen Press, who was appointed Chief Physician of the USSR Olympic Team, in 1992. His clinic was then operating full time at the City Hospital No. 15 in Vuikhina region of Moscow. This clinic was a joint venture with the Chief Neurologist of The City of Moscow. Dr. Press is still the President of the Russian Chiropractic Association.
Recently a group of DC's have been working to establish a clinic in St. Peterburg, and using a Chiropractor who came to Russia through a program which violated the regulations of the World Federation of Chiropractic, set up clinics in the far east and now in St. Petersburg. The Chiropractor stayed in Moscow and contiues to practice there , though he is no longer associated with the RCA. This group puts out press information which attempts to erase the memory and work of Dr. Press, and others who have given so much time and money to help establish Chiropractic in the former Soviet Republics, especially in Russia. One can make one's own contribution, but to ignore those who have come before, and simply wipe out their contributions is a very small act of very small people.
