🏈⚽ From the sidelines, youth sports look like nothing but fun, energy, and teamwork. But beneath every practice, game, and tournament lies a physical reality many parents don’t see—repeated impacts on growing bodies.
✅ Did you know?
• Youth football players take 250–400 head impacts per season (high schoolers: up to 1,000+ hits yearly!).
• Soccer players can head the ball 20–100 times a season—not including collisions with other players or falls.
• Even basketball & volleyball players face joint stress and spinal compression from all that jumping, pivoting, and falling.
And here’s the kicker: Even if your child isn’t in pain, repetitive impacts can quietly stress the spine, joints, and growth plates—potentially affecting posture, performance, and long-term health.
Chiropractic care is safe, natural, and drug-free—designed to help young athletes:
✔ Detect misalignments early (before they become big problems)
✔ Protect growth plates & support healthy bone development
✔ Improve nervous system function for better balance & coordination
✔ Enhance recovery & reduce inflammation after games
✔ Boost overall athletic performance
