Contestants compete in the Senior World Cup Foil Fencing Championship in Cairo, Egypt on March 9, 2025. Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms Chiropractor Carrie J. Belleson recently returned from the event, where she served as the sole medical provider for the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Foil Fencing Teams, helping both squads earn silver medals. Drawing from years of experience with national teams like USA Fencing and USA Swimming, Belleson applies the same high-performance care she provides to elite athletes to support the health and readiness of active-duty service members. Her international experience treating injuries in high-pressure, real-time environments strengthens her approach to keeping Marines and Sailors mission-ready through early intervention, mobility optimization, and preventative care (Courtesy photo from FIE - International Fencing Federation).
