Re: Concussion crisis growing in girls' soccer

[Guest guest]

Perhaps this is an opportunity for our profession to make a public statement against using the head to hit the ball in soccer or any sport. I tell my patients and parents of children who play soccer what I told my children: "If you hit the ball with your head even once, you will not be allowed to play soccer again." Fortunately my children did not choose to play soccer past the youngish ages when hitting the ball with the head was not allowed. (I'm not sure if that's still a rule). I suggest to my patients that they apply the same rule to their children as I did to mine.This is an opportunity for us to promote chiropractic and educate about what we can help.

Does the Chiropractic profession have a formal statement on this? And do we have a protocol for neck analysis and strengthening? s. fuchs dc

As a former football and hockey player at a high level and a kid who plays football, I’m certainly not comfortable suggesting this. I think as a profession we can guide in the way of prevention and safety, but every parent and player has a personal choice to make in regards to sports and concussions. We can help make that choice an educated one.

No headers??? Come onnnn mom!!

Yet her point is good ..... having a policy regarding this, assuming we can create appropriate verbiage, could be an important component in the discussion. Our is the profession that deals with the structural components and it is certainly time for the public to learn about the presence of craniopathy within options of care. And yes, teaching the kids that head butts are to be used only when that is the only option might be a smart lession for that being.
