World Cup, Soccer, and Chiropractic  The World Cup is underway in Russia and it's been exciting to watch the matches with my family. As a Chiropractor, it's painful to see the players having injuries, one after another. It's not uncommon for these professional players to have injuries which can affect their play, take them out of the game, and even end their career. Soccer is one of the most physically demanding sports, especially when played at this highest level. Common soccer injuries include ankle sprains, hamstring strains, ACL/MCL sprains, and groin strains. There are also back, neck, shoulder, foot, knee, leg, calf, thigh, wrist, and head/face injuries. Chiropractic care can be very beneficial in treating the majority of soccer injuries. Exceptions include life threatening injuries, concussions, fractures, and cuts. Chiropractors are focused on finding the cause of the health condition, rather than just treating it with medication. Chiropractic adjustments and therapies can help align the body, relieve pain, and prevent injuries. Many World Cup soccer players use Chiropractic care to improve function and prevent injury. Dr. Mike Foudy, the team Chiropractor for the 1994 Women's World Cup Championship team said, "...the team received regular Chiropractic care during their training and on the days of their matches. Chiropractic adjustments balanced their spine, removed nerve pressure and optimized the function of their bodies. All the players felt like they healed quicker from injuries and that the care gave them a competitive edge." Former USA player Landon Donovan also used Chiropractic care. Get Chiropractic care to help you stay in the game. It's beneficial for our kids who play soccer too.
