Chiropractic utilization in Taekwondo athletes

Chiropractic Economics July 14, 2008

A study was conducted to examine chiropractic utilization following a sport-related injury among National Team members and other high level Taekwondo athletes. Surveys were distributed among Canadian male and female Taekwondo athletes (Group A, n = 60) competing in a national tournament and National Taekwondo team athletes (Group B, n = 16) at a training camp. A response rate of 46.7% (Group A) and 100% (Group B) was achieved. Twenty five percent of Group A athletes reported never seen a doctor of chiropractic (DC) regarding their injuries. Over 12% reported visiting a DC often, while just over 6% reported that they usually visited the DC following an injury. When injured, over 36% of the National Team members visit their family physician, over 15% visit a chiropractor or physiotherapist and the remaining athletes equally visit osteopaths, massage therapists, or athletic therapist following an injury. There is a lack of information surrounding chiropractic utilization in the majority of sports and minimal research published regarding the health care utilization of Taekwondo athletes. Chiropractors, and particularly those with extensive athlete contact, should endeavor to further utilization studies.
