METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on treatment records. Thirty-five chiropractors trained in sports injuries provided care for athletes and non-athletes (support personnel) who voluntarily sought chiropractic care. Data included demographics (age, sex, role, country, and sport), category of anatomical regions treated, treatment modality (manipulation, myotherapy, mobilization, taping, and other), and participants\' self-reported pain ratings.
RESULTS: A total of 1902 completed treatment forms representing 1902 encounters were included for athletes (n = 1238, 65%) and non-athletes (n = 664, 35%). There were 9385 individuals (athlete or non-athlete). Five hundred ninety of 3666 (16%) athletes and 422 of 5719 (7%) non-athletes received chiropractic treatment. Athletes represented 28 of 31 (90%) sports and 79 of 108 (73%) countries present. The thoracic spine was the most frequently treated spinal region (n = 846, 44%), followed by lumbar spine (n = 831, 44%) and cervical spine (n = 725, 38%). Frequency of treatment modalities was manipulation (n = 1610, 82%), myotherapy (n = 1522, 80%), mobilization (n = 607, 32%), and taping (n = 380, 20%). Acute injuries were more prevalent for athletes (61%) than non-athletes (35%), and athletes sought follow-up care (54%) more than non-athletes (36%). Overall, 89% of participants reported pain reduction immediately after treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: This article describes chiropractic care utilization at a multisport event as part of a health care team. The range of treatments included manipulation myotherapy, mobilization, and taping. Although a minority of athletes and non-athletes received chiropractic treatment, many participants reported pain reduction immediately after treatment.
方法:对治疗记录进行回顾性分析。35名接受过运动损伤培训的脊医为自愿寻求脊骨治疗的运动员和非运动员(支持人员)提供护理。数据包括人口统计(年龄,性别,角色,国家,和运动),治疗的解剖区域的类别,治疗方式(操纵,myotherapy,动员,录音,和其他),和参与者自我报告的疼痛评分。
结果:总共包含1902份完整的治疗表格,代表1902份遭遇运动员(n=1238,65%)和非运动员(n=664,35%)。有9385个人(运动员或非运动员)。3666名运动员中有590名(16%)和5719名非运动员中有422名(7%)接受了脊椎治疗。运动员代表31个运动中的28个(90%)和108个国家中的79个(73%)。胸椎是最常治疗的脊柱区域(n=846,44%),其次是腰椎(n=831,44%)和颈椎(n=725,38%)。治疗方式的频率是操纵(n=1610,82%),肌肉疗法(n=1522,80%),动员(n=607,32%),和胶带(n=380,20%)。运动员急性损伤(61%)比非运动员(35%)更普遍,运动员寻求后续护理(54%)比非运动员(36%)更多。总的来说,89%的参与者在治疗后立即报告疼痛减轻。
结论:本文描述了作为医疗保健团队的一部分,在一项多运动项目中使用整脊护理。治疗的范围包括手法治疗,动员,和录音。尽管少数运动员和非运动员接受了脊椎治疗,许多参与者报告治疗后疼痛立即减轻.
