Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) chiropractor Francesco Sinopoli, DC has completed the requirements to become certified as a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP®). This certification requires extensive training in the evaluation of physical fitness and the assessment and treatment of sports-related injuries.
For this certification, Dr. Sinopoli completed over 300 hours of postgraduate education, followed by both a comprehensive written examination and a practical (hands-on) exam. The certification also required Dr. Sinopoli to write and publish a sports-related paper in a peer-reviewed journal and to provide a minimum of 100 hours of care and treatment to athletes outside a clinical setting.
Dr. Sinopoli says this training will enhance the care he provides to his patients. “The certification process has been extensive but incredibly valuable to my practice, enabling me to better prevent and treat sports injuries in the athlete-patients I see.”
The DACBSP accreditation exists to set a uniform standard of education for chiropractic doctors who provide sports medicine. This assures teams and athletes that the doctor has met a high level of competency in chiropractic sports medicine. Sinopoli joins 300 others nationally who hold this designation.
Dr. Sinopoli provides chiropractic care at KRMC’s Hualapai Mountain Campus, located at 3801 Santa Rosa Drive. For more information, call Kingman Orthopedics at (928) 263-3516.
