Sports injury assessment in Gloucester

Sports injury assessment and treatment in Gloucester

From a training setback to discomfort during recreational sport, an injury can interrupt activities you enjoy. At Longlevens Chiro in Gloucester, we assess muscle and joint concerns, discuss your goals and explain the next steps. You do not need to be a competitive athlete to book.

A sudden injury or a problem that builds gradually?

A sprain affects the ligaments supporting a joint; a strain affects a muscle or tendon. Pain can follow a fall, twist or sudden effort, while other problems develop as training demands build. The location of pain alone does not identify the cause. Tell us about recent changes in distance, intensity, equipment or activity, as well as any previous injuries.

Persistent swelling, difficulty bearing weight, reduced movement or symptoms that keep returning deserve assessment. We will discuss whether a routine clinic appointment is appropriate or whether you need medical investigation first.

Your chiropractor will ask how the problem started, what training or activity you do and how symptoms affect everyday movement. We assess the relevant movement and function, explain the findings and discuss suitable options. A GP, physiotherapist or another specialist may need to be involved.

A practical plan for returning to activity

Your plan should reflect the demands of your sport and your starting point. It may include advice on adjusting activity, exercises to rebuild strength and movement, and hands-on care where appropriate. We review your response rather than applying the same timetable to every injury.

Return gradually: everyday tasks and basic movement usually come before demanding drills or competition. Build up the movements your activity requires, such as lifting, running or changing direction. Sharp or increasing pain, renewed swelling or a loss of strength or movement are reasons to stop and seek advice. Recovery varies with the injury and the individual.

Read the NHS guide to returning to activity or sport after injury. For an appointment, compare our fees or call 01452 309372 if you are unsure which service to choose.

A significant injury, suspected fracture, severe or worsening symptoms or inability to use the injured area may need urgent medical assessment. Do not use a routine clinic booking instead of urgent help. The NHS sprains and strains guidance explains when and where to seek advice.

Chiropractic assessment and rehabilitation

Where appropriate, care may include exercises, advice about activity and hands-on treatment. We can discuss a gradual return to the tasks and sport that matter to you, with progress reviews and adjustments along the way. Simon Rose holds the CCEP qualification and can discuss extremity assessment and orthotics where suitable.

We do not guarantee a return-to-sport date, improved performance or prevention of future injury. Read about chiropractic care or physiotherapy.

Shout out to the main man James, runs through things thoroughly with no stone left unturned, makes everything very clear and is very easy to get on with making for a comfortable experience. Practical wise gets to the nitty gritty and doesn’t mess about. Results so far has been more than I expected! The reception staff I’ve come across all seem good spirited, helpful people. Would definitely recommend this spot.

Danny was extremely friendly and welcoming. He explained everything in great detail to help me understand the logic behind my injury. I am looking forward to following his guidance and improving a 10-year long condition that no one has previously been able to diagnose!

Having been a regular at a chiropractor in Cheltenham and now having moved to Longlevens I am so happy to have found Longlevens Chiro. I booked in for a consultation and treatment with Jenny and she was wonderful. We ran through my history and previous treatments before moving onto my appointment. Very professional environment and very happy with the service. I would highly recommend to anyone.
