Chiropractic & Sport injuries
Contact or Collision Sports are most likely to cause injuries for example, basketball, soccer, rugby, hockey and boxing.
Besides that, golf is also one of the most dangerous sports even though it isn’t a contact sport, it still results in nearly 60.000 injurles each year. What’s more shocking is that golf is responsible for more injuries than rugby. Many injuries involve golf carts and errant golf balls, in addition to stress and overuse injuries.

Chiropractors are skilled in manual adjustment of the spine and extremities, ensuring that bones are aligned and balanced, which helps relieve tension in the body.
