Dr. Vince Vellucci, a local chiropractic doctor in Fayetteville attended a Sports Injury Seminar April 1 and 2 this year with nationally recognized professional sports doctors, Dr. Brad Hayes, DC and Dr. Malcom Conway, DC. Dr. Hayes and Dr. Conway have successfully treated more professional athletes, i.e. gymnasts, football players, cheerleaders, golfers and others from every type of sport in the U.S., than any other doctor in the profession. "For a significant number of today's injured athletes, there is a treatment option better than casts, bandages, ice, massage, tape or rest. There is now a proven treatment that will stun coaches and put athletes back into their sport."

Dr. Vellucci attended this special seminar to learn the new technique called the Myofascial Release Technique. "Because of the results the powerful new method of treatment produces, professional teams are flying these specially trained doctors into their cities to treat their highly paid athletes and get them back on the field much quicker than ever before. Knowledge of this technique is filtering into more and more cities across the country, where coaches of high school football, baseball, basketball, gymnastics, cheerleading, golf, soccer and other sports are scrambling to find those few doctors who have been taught this new treatment technique," Vellucci explains.

Over 170 million people, or 68 percent of the population, have participated at least once in one of the sports/activities monitored by American Sports Data Inc. Of the 40 million or so emergency room visits, 10 percent are from sports injuries. It is estimated that at least five times that many do not visit emergency rooms.

Dr. Vellucci explains that sports injuries are on the rise, "Children are being introduced to sports at an unprecedented early age, some as young as five years old. The older a child gets, the more sports they tend to participate in, eventually playing sports all year round. Many high school athletes jump from one sport to another. Adding to this equation are the new extreme and action sports. And, we cannot forget the 'baby-boomers' who have always set the example of exercise. Their age and desire to continue their sports are resulting in more injuries."

Dr. Vellucci's family practice treats neck, mid-back and low-back disorders and soft tissue injuries from auto accidents and work injuries. Dr. Vellucci has now decided to add sports injury treatment to his list of treatable conditions. He is very excited to attend these advanced seminars on the treatment of sports injuries and to be able to assist coaches of all sports within his community.
