Sports chiropractic is a branch of chiropractic for those with an interest and expertise in treating athletes. The focus of sports chiropractic is to provide care in the conservative management, rehabilitation and performance optimisation of the neuromusculoskeletal system.
 
Focusing primarily on the biomechanics of movement and injuries relating to sport, a sports chiropractor takes a thorough history, performs orthopaedic and neurological testing as well as a comprehensive movement assessment. 
 
Treatment consists of massage and soft tissue work, dry needling, mobilisations and adjustments. Depending on the type of injury an extensive rehabilitation plan will also be outlined in order to return you to sport/work. 
 

Some of the common conditions that we can assist you with include:

• Back and neck pain

• Joint and muscle sprains or strains

• Sports-related injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, runner’s knee)

• Postural imbalances affecting performance

• Tendonitis and overuse injuries

• Restricted joint mobility and stiffness

• Headaches related to neck tension

• Muscle tightness and soft tissue restrictions

• Recovery and rehabilitation after sports injuries

• Improving overall movement mechanics and alignment
   

By addressing these issues, sports chiropractic helps reduce pain, improve function, and enhance athletic performance.
