Warning: Don't ignore Pain!

Common types of injuries include lower back pain, hamstring and calf strains, groin and thigh sprains, Achilles tendon injuries, neck pain, tendonitis, shoulder sprain/strain, sciatica, and tennis/golfers elbow. Pain killing drugs may temporarily relieve or mask symptoms but a sports chiropractor can diagnose and treat the real cause of an injury. Failing to receive the correct treatment promptly while continuing to overuse the injured area may prolong the healing process and result in a chronic injury and the shortening of a promising career.

What Causes Injuries?

Amateur sports enthusiasts and professional sports men and women alike are all likely to suffer from sports injuries at some time. Each injury is different; it could be the result of poor warm up and stretching techniques, years of poor posture or a previously undetected spine or joint problem, unsuitable equipment, overtraining, or the wrong training technique.

What is the Correct Treatment?

At the initial consultation, the sports chiropractor will carry out a thorough examination, take a full medical history, inquire about lifestyle, and generally take x-rays. Once a diagnosis is made, a treatment plan is prescribed, which includes specific adjustment techniques to affect the nervous system, free stiff joints and remove spinal irritation. It may be combined with other types of treatment, such as low level laser therapy or ultrasound, as necessary. Although the treatment itself is generally painless, some short-term discomfort may be felt around the injured area.

Once the pain has subsided, a program of exercises will generally be recommended that will help strengthen the injured area, improve flexibility and prevent recurrence of the problem.

The goal of sports chiropractic treatment is to restore normal function to a person's joints and muscles as well as the nervous system, resulting in increased control, co-ordination and muscle strength.
