Regular exercise is one of the most important aspects of healthy living, but playing sports can put your body under a lot of stress. A sports chiropractor can support your body’s recovery from a range of conditions caused by sporting trauma. But very importantly, Chiropractic can work to improve performance, and reduce injuries!

And more
The use of sports-focused chiropractic services can also Improve performance, reduce healing times, and prevent injuries.
Dry needling
Dry needling can be very effective in reducing spasm and encouraging healing, especially in areas that are too sensitive to massage. Our Chiropractors are proficient in dry needling.
Sports therapy and massage
Soft tissue therapy, which includes various types of deep tissue massage and Swedish massage, can achieve immediate pain relief while also correcting a range of muscle injuries. The manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues, tendons, and ligaments can target trigger points to unlock a greater sense of motion and restore movements that have been restricted as a result of sports injuries.
Muscle work, exercise, and manipulation work together to repair the body and strengthen muscles in the affected area while also restoring balance and posture.
Sports chiropractor services for kids
Adults aren’t the only people to suffer from sporting injuries. Children are equally at risk, and their growing bodies need extra support. Otherwise, the damage caused as a result of those injuries could cause long-term postural and musculoskeletal problems.
From specific problems such as Osgood Schlatters to general injuries, our Chiropractors are highly trained in dealing with paediatric problems.
A chiropractor that has a full and thorough understanding of growing bodies, as well as the injuries themselves, can tailor a winning treatment plan accordingly. This can include elements of specialised sports massage, physiotherapy, and Chiropractic services. From immediate pain relief to rehabilitation and supported body growth, child-friendly chiropractor services are vital.
Getting an accurate diagnosis
No two injuries are identical, which is why it’s imperative that you find the right treatment plan built with your individual requirements in place. An accurate diagnosis is the first step to success, especially as many pains can actually stem from other problems. A full and thorough assessment of the injury identifies the true source of the problem, which can unlock the best course of action.
Following the right treatment plan can prevent surgery, the need for medications, and various invasive treatments. This offers the best hopes of securing a full recovery and a fulfilling life for both adults and children alike. To regain control today, get in touch with our friendly sports Chiropractors.
