摘要：Introduction. Trackand fieldevents are a highly competitive and intense sport. Athletics players commonly suffer from low back pain, which is often the result of the repetitive loading and lateral movement that occurs during performance of the sport. These forces can cause injuries such as stress fractures, muscle spasms, and even disc herniation. Many of these injuries can be prevented with sports chiropractic. The goal of this study was to identify the effects of sports chiropractic on the primary prevention of low back pain among track and field Players. Methods. Seventeen players from the Sharkia club were divided into two groups: Experimental (n = 9) and Control (n = 8). Each group trained four times a week for ten weeks, with all training modalities performed at each session. Parameters assessed were height, weight, training experience, and low back pain. All subjects were free of any disorders known to affect performance, such as bone fractures, osteoporosis, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease, and had not undergone recent surgery. The participants did not report the use of any antiseizure drugs, alcohol, cocaine, or cigarettes. All participants were fully apprised of the aims of the study and gave informed consent before participation. The measurement procedures were in accord with ethical human experimentation. Results. The results revealed significant differences between pre- and post-competition measurements regarding flexibility and discomfort. In conclusion, sports chiropractic was found to reduce low back pain and improve flexibility. Conclusion. Sports chiropractic could reduce lower back pain and improve flexibility.
