Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - The Most Important Thing for Female Athletes

May 21, 2025

Concussions are more common in female sports than people often think, especially in activities like soccer, volleyball, and basketball. A lot of these injuries come from falls and the way the head moves during impact, not just from direct hits. That’s why building neck strength is so important it helps reduce the risk by slowing down head movement when athletes fall or get knocked around.


Another simple way to support brain health is by adding creatine. It’s been shown to help the brain recover faster after a concussion and can be a helpful supplement for active kids and teens. Along with regular strength training and good chiropractic care to keep the body aligned, these small steps can go a long way in protecting young athletes.
