Sports Injury Treatment

Sports injuries can be a minor irritation, or prevent you from playing sport completely

In either case, when you come to us with a sports injury, we aim to:

• Get you out of pain as quickly as possible

• Rehabilitate you as fully as possible

• Get you back to playing the sport you love as quickly as you can.

It makes sense to deal with back problems as soon as possible; the longer you wait, the longer the issue can take to resolve.

Injuries sustained during sport are many and varied. A great deal of them are very similar to the sorts of problems caused by everyday activities… pulled muscles, spinal joint strains, vertebral or pelvic misalignments for example. Some, however, are much more likely sustained in a sporting environment – such as knee injuries (Meniscus or cartilage problems), twisted ankles and muscle tears.

Over the years we’ve taken care of injuries from golf, squash, running, yachting, climbing, tennis, motocross, and power-boat racing. You could say that after 36 years in practice there’s not a lot we haven’t seen!

How sports injuries are treated

Our approach is to use a combination of chiropractic, osteopathy, osteomyology, K-Laser and massage therapies to do what we can to pinpoint and treat the root cause and related issues. For example, any skiing injury that’s significant enough to badly pull a leg muscle, almost certainly has the ability to strain the pelvis. Likewise, a fall whilst cycling vigorously can tear a shoulder and mask the lesser pain of a strained joint in the neck. This is why we feel it’s vital to check people out thoroughly in every instance as the main pain may not be the underlying problem.

To correct the various sporting problems that people present with, we use a combination of differing techniques including gentle manual adjustments of the spine and extremities as well as specialised adjuncts like S.O.T., Activator, Applied Kinesiology and K-Laser.
