The Olympics Shooter Hoang Xuan Vinh used to mention that: ‘Shooting is not a very easy sport’
Shooter Hoang Xuan Vinh became the first Olympic gold medalist in Vietnam’s history at the Rio Games to take home the glory of a Gold medal for marksmanship. In doing so, there will tend to be injuries most commonly caused by overuse, combined with too little rest and time to recover.
Rifle shooters often have experience problems with their low back, whereas pistol shooters would commonly face problems with the shooting shoulder and neck.
Common injuries
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
When Hoang Xuan Vinh trained back in 2017, ACC has helped to treat both his back and shoulder. He first heard about ACC from Nguyen Thi Nhung, Vietnam’s head coach at the Shooting Federation who has personally experienced care from the doctors with chiropractic treatments and orthotics.
Sports injuries often do not occur due to one single factor and causes could be multi-faceted.
ACC is one of the best clinics who can help in sports injury preventions and injury management by Chiropractic through correct identification of root causes, therapy treatments and rehabilitation in order to help athletes return to training and competition sooner.
