Ok, so if you have trained BJJ for any time, you have likely twisted your ankle or knee. This is one of the most common injuries I see on the mat. Most guys think these will heal by themselves if they just take a few days off. Wrong!
I am often asked if I am able to treat shoulders, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, feet, etc. in my practice. The answer is yes, and often I can do it without even touching the arm or leg. I have seen that posture, and therefore, postural distortions, not only affect the spine, but also the extremities.
I wanted to change my pattern of writing on injury topics each month and focus on something else this time. I wanted to touch on the topic of community. BJJ 3rd Degree Black Belt William Vandry has done such an outstanding job of developing community within his school and it has affected my life and I wanted to share.
Over the last couple of years, I have seen several knee injuries on the mat, ranging from mild sprains to more complicated injuries requiring surgery. This article is going to focus primarily upon meniscus injuries.
I was recently reviewing the literature on headaches and Chiropractic measures for the treatment. If you have a history of headaches, I am sure you have tried all sorts of treatments, including various prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications, home remedies, and I hope Chiropractic care.
