Local doctor talks about the importance of sports safety

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - On Welcome to Our Community, WTOC’s Dawn Baker had the chance to speak with Dr. Jared Brown, one of the co-owners of Bright Life Chiropractic.

Dr. Brown discussed sports safety and young people.

“We just obviously want to make making sure we’re taking those safety precautions. That our shoes are tied very tight. You’d be surprised at how many people are injuring themselves from their shoes being untied or loose. You know, the parents say, hey tie your shoes, tie your shoes. It’s for good reason, right? Because we don’t want them tripping up out in the field. That they’re using proper equipment, right? That they’re using cleats if need be to create that traction when they’re running. That they are using all the protective gear that they should use,” said Dr. Brown.
