The modern multimodal practitioner is better suited to managing sporting injuries by […] - [Chiropractic Treatment in Sports: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials](https://fics.sport/chiropractic-treatment-in-sports-systematic-review-of-randomized-controlled-trials/): Reviewer: Dr Claudio Merkier, Bed, BSc, DC, CCEP, ICCSP, FFTP, MSc ,FRCC (Sports) Reference: Thiele, R.
