Sports Injuries

Chiropractors can help with problems arising from sports injury such as joint pain, aches, sprains and cramps, cervicogenic headache, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder problems, plantar fasciitis, elblow pain and tennis elbow.

Competing whilst still in pain with an injury or trying to fight injuries with the aid of painkillers is often detrimental and can lead to further damage of the joints, ligaments and muscles.

Many active men and women regularly visit a qualified Sports Chiropractor to have injuries diagnosed and treated, to prevent further injuries and/or to find out why they continually get a recurring injury. Our specialist Chiropractors can help to improve an athletes’ overall performance, working with you and your coaches to achieve the best of your body’s ability. The majority of professional teams, athletes and motor racing teams employ Sports Chiropractors to prevent injuries. The sporting world is now coming to realise the high quality level of diagnosis, treatment and injury prevention that a specialist Sports Chiropractor can provide.
