Could Sports Chiropractic Care Help Me?


Research indicates that chiropractic helps to improve flexibility and movement, as well as the body’s biomechanics, all of which are critical to optimal sports performance. 


Sports chiropractic has also been found useful in some of the issues commonly experienced by athletes, such as:

• Lower back pain (1) 

• Knee pain (2)

• Recurrent ankle sprain (2)

• Grip strength (2)

• Neck pain (3)

• Muscle pain (3)


Conducting a comprehensive assessment is key to finding the root cause of your concern, and to providing appropriate treatment. 


Techniques used in sports chiropractic may involve spinal and joint manipulations, pelvic blocking, soft tissue release, mobilisation, dry needling, and rehabilitation exercises – as they are all designed to promote optimal function and relieve pain.


Whether you prefer football, netball, or cricket; swimming, cycling or martial arts; we invite you to make an appointment today to discuss how sports chiropractic care may be helpful for you!
