Sports Injury
Chiropractic Treatments
Whether you are an amateur sports player or a top professional, your body is prone to the same types of sports injuries. Chiropractors are trained to deal with a wide range of sports injuries from sprains, to tendon injuries, neck and back pain.
Chiropractic Care for Sports Injuries
Chiropractors deal with a wide range of sports injuries. The objective of treatment is to identify and correct any underlying injury or cause of discomfort, to strengthen muscles and improve neuromusculoskeletal function. Treatment will typically involve gentle mobilisation adjustments to reduce the pain and improve movement so that the sportsperson can return to their daily routine.
Some sports put extra strain on bones, muscles and joints, which can lead to sports injuries. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free way to treat these injuries and get you back out there. It is no surprise that several Olympic teams retain chiropractors on staff and chiropractic care is now seen as an integral part of the modern athletic training program.
Chiropractic care may be supplemented with rehabilitation exercises and patients should be wary of returning to their sport before full recovery to avoid a relapse of the sports injury.
