Your Questions About Sports Injuries & Chiropractic Support
Our team works with everyone from weekend joggers to elite athletes. Explore common questions about diagnosis, care, and injury prevention.
What are the most common sports injuries you treat?
We commonly treat muscle strains, joint sprains, tendinopathy (like tennis elbow or Achilles issues), lower back pain, knee problems, shoulder injuries and repetitive strain injuries. Whether it’s from running, lifting, paddling or tackling—we’ve seen it and treated it.
Can I keep training while being treated?
In many cases, yes. We’ll guide you on what to modify or reduce temporarily, and provide alternative exercises so you can stay active while you heal. The goal is to avoid aggravation while continuing to build strength and mobility.
How long does it take to recover from a sports injury?
It depends on the severity and location of the injury. Some respond quickly to care, while others—especially those involving tendons or long-term dysfunction—may require a structured plan over several weeks. We review progress at every stage.
What treatments do chiropractors use for sports injuries?
We use a combination of manual therapy, joint mobilisation, strength and rehab exercises, mobility work, postural correction, and medical acupuncture. Everything is personalised to your sport, position and physical demands.
Can chiropractic care improve performance, not just treat injury?
Yes. Many of our clients seek care not only for pain relief but also for performance enhancement. Improving alignment, joint mobility and muscular balance can help you move better, recover faster and reduce injury risk.
Do you work with other health professionals if needed?
Absolutely. We collaborate with GPs, orthopaedic consultants, sports therapists and podiatrists where appropriate. You’re in safe hands with an experienced team behind you.
