To address these challenges, specialists from various fields, including sports doctors, general practitioners, ophthalmologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, nurses, and pharmacists, collaborate to provide comprehensive care for the health issues mentioned above, aiming to improve player performance. This seems to offer highly specialized prevention for those who are not experiencing symptoms yet, as well as treatment for those who are.
