No track and field athlete has reached the soaring popularity of Usain Bolt. Even if it’s winning the gold medal for 100 meters in three consecutive Olympics or showcasing his signature lightning bolt pose, he is one of the best athletes of his generation. However, his hamstring injuries forced him to retire when he turned 30. Therefore, a former soccer player, Clarence Seedorf, detailed a medical procedure that cured his hamstring issues.

Significantly, he removed his wisdom tooth, which ended up solving his niggling hamstring injuries. The reaction Bolt displayed made him ponder what if he had done this before. Could he have competed in yet another Olympic Games?

Usain Bolt amazed at soccer player’s interesting reveal

Seedorf revealed how he defined medical science by doing this procedure. He stated, “I had one of those things, you know that my, what is it, the wisdom tooth. So I got to know about that later. Like 10 years in my career and they took them away. From that day my hamstring problems were practically gone.” To this, Bolt was left shocked and replied, “Never heard of that. That’s crazy.”

There are links to nerves in your body, and Seedorf found it out after having the procedure. He said, “Because they say because the nerve had an influence on the whole system there. So you know that’s what I mean. You try to link with the best specialists and stuff, but sometimes you know them later.”

The hamstrings are a cluster of muscles behind one’s thigh, which aids in the running ability of a sprinter. Athletes train their hamstrings well to improve their speed and control their knees. But, after excessive running, hamstrings not recovering well would cause strains and cramps that lead to significant injuries. Therefore, Bolt suffered from this phenomenon during the latter stages of his career. Despite the unusual nature of the procedure, this treatment is not a rare event, as evidenced by another athlete undergoing the same procedure.

Rugby star does a similar procedure for hamstring issues

Like Seedorf, an Australian Rugby star Rod Davies, removed his wisdom teeth to improve his posture. As the athlete looked to curb this issue, he recalled a physio in France who helped him. According to Fox News, he stated, “If any of the faster guys in football have recurring lower limb injuries, they look at whether they also have dental problems.”

To sum up, Usain Bolt had a mesmerizing career for several years. But if he focused on dental issues to cure his hamstring injuries, who knows; he probably could have won another Olympic gold medal!
