According to FIFA Big Count on World Football survey, 24,472,778 Americans play soccer at some level in the USA. Soccer is an intense sport played by running, kicking, sprinting, fast changes in direction and advanced footwork that results in both traumatic and overuse injuries from time to time.
Whether it be from an accident on the playing field or physical stress, SOCCER players experience pain and injury from some these kinds of conditions: Ankle Sprain, Calf Strain, Cartilage Tear, Clavicle Fracture, Concussion, Foot Fracture, Knee Sprain, Kneecap Bursitis, and Wrist Fracture.
