In the biggest event in the history of chiropractic in Latin America, over 900 delegates attended the 11th Biennial Congress of the World Federation of Chiropractic, hosted by the Brazilian Chiropractors’ Association (ABQ) and held in Rio de Janeiro, April 6-9, 2011.

Half the attendees were chiropractors and students from the host country of Brazil; which now has over 600 chiropractors country-wide, and nearly 700 students enrolled in Brazil’s two university-based chiropractic programs. These universities, co-sponsors of the Congress, are Feevale University in Novo Hamburgo and the Anhembi Morumbi University (UAM) in Sao Paulo.
