A Weekend of Learning, Connection, and Community
The NYSCA 2025 Fall Convention was held October 17-19, 2025 at the Embassy Suites East SyracuseThis October, chiropractors, students, and corporate partners came together for a weekend filled with education, collaboration, and inspiration. Over three days, doctors earned up to 16 CE credits while exploring fresh perspectives in patient care, practice management, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to every Chiropractor who joined us, to our speakers for sharing their expertise, and to our exhibitors and sponsors for their continued support. Together, you helped make this event a true success.
Friday Highlights
The weekend opened with a thoughtful session on bone health and osteoporosis prevention, where participants explored how nutrition, hormones, and exercise can play a vital role in long-term skeletal health.
Later that afternoon, participants turned their focus to Workers’ Compensation in New York, gaining practical updates on documentation requirements and submission processes. A special highlight was the presence of New York State Workers’ Compensation Board Executive Director Steven Scotti and Medical Director Dr. James Tacci, who joined the conversation to provide timely updates and answer member questions directly.
Friday evening, students took center stage with a special program that blended philosophy, fun, and mentorship. From a lively Jeopardy-style game to a doctor panel moderated by NYSCA Vice President Dr. Gerald Stevens, students had the opportunity to ask candid questions, hear from both new and seasoned chiropractors, and network with practicing doctors from across the state.
Saturday Sessions
Saturday’s program offered a wide range of clinical insights. The morning began with women’s health and perinatal care, equipping chiropractors with strategies to support patients through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Participants then turned to the relationship between foot function and pelvic stability, exploring how lower extremity biomechanics can influence spinal alignment and patient outcomes.
In the afternoon, participants examined the scientific and neurological foundations of chiropractic care, including new considerations emerging in the post-COVID era. The day concluded with a discussion on interdisciplinary collaboration, highlighting tools for better communication and integration across healthcare teams.
Sunday Wrap-Up
The final day featured a session on caring for dancers with knee injuries, blending anatomy, culture, and patient communication strategies to support this unique population. The weekend closed with an engaging look at diagnostic imaging, where participants reviewed both common and unusual pathology with a focus on practical, clinically relevant cases.
Leadership in Action
Alongside the CE program, the NYSCA Board of Directors and House of Delegates convened to advance the work of the Association. These important meetings ensure our policies and initiatives reflect the evolving needs of New York’s chiropractors and the patients we serve.
