Dr. Pollard is a practicing Sports & Exercise Chiropractor and clinical scientist based in Sydney, Australia. He is the owner and director of a chiropractic clinic located in the Southern Sydney beachside suburb of Cronulla and has a special interest in Sports Chiropractic. He is also Head, Australasian Institute of Chiropractic Education (AICE), a business unit of the Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA). Prof Pollard has been in private clinical practice for the last 34 years, has been an Independent Chiropractic Consultant (IME) for State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) (Formerly known as WorkCover Authority of NSW) for 18 years and has taught for 30+ years in the areas of orthopedics, sports medicine, clinical management and research at several universities. He currently holds an Adjunct professorial position at CQUniversity. He has lectured at numerous conferences nationally and internationally in the fields of Chiropractic, Sports Medicine, and Research and has published 130 peer-reviewed manuscripts in medical and chiropractic peer-reviewed journals.
His research interests include clinical & sports chiropractic, epidemiology of injury, sports medicine, and psychosocial factors in chronic pain. He has had 9 PhD and 3 MSc research student completions. He currently has 2 MSc and 2 PhD student supervisions. Additionally, he has helped raise over $1 million dollars for chiropractic research. In a career that has spanned nearly 35 years and three distinct phases: 1. clinical / working with teams (collision and non-collision sports), 2. academic/research and 3. clinical/regulatory. Interestingly, some of the biggest changes have occurred in the clinical realm. The initial approach taught in the mid 80’s was a very statically oriented approach to assessment and treatment whereas in the last 10-15 years management has become far more dynamic in nature with assessment and management being much more movement-based. Whilst management has always contained some form of exercise therapy, management in the third phase typically contains a quick progression to functional exercise to aid the recovery of patients.
Importantly, our research efforts need to reflect these newer ways of managing our patients. In order to achieve this newer approach I went back to school to complete several important courses including, certification in the following:
I believe these (amongst other management strategies) to be critically important for the modern Sports Chiropractor. Also, it is equally important for the researcher to investigate modern chiropractic multimodal management approaches. I will be looking to establish a Research-Based Practice Network to investigate the methods used by modern Sports Chiropractors to manage their patients. The research committee will soon establish key areas of research focus and distribute these to the schools internationally to support and focus the research effort of the Sports Chiropractic community. As a profession, we need to communicate and document through research publication who we are, what are our educational standards, what we treat (scope of practice) and how we treat (methods) in order to assist in the recognition of Sports Chiropractic by government regulators, medical and allied health groups and the greater public that we serve.
