Sports Chiropractic is a field of chiropractic that offers effective treatment of your musculoskeletal issues including painful strains and sprains from sporting injuries.
The most common causes of sporting injuries in athletes are:
- Muscle asymmetry where one side of the body is different from the other
- Loss of mobility and flexibility issues
- Loss of spinal movement causing abnormal muscle tightness and strain
- Muscle spasm and tightness from overuse
- Trauma during sport causing injuries and placing stress on other areas of the body
When your body is injured it will automatically compensate for the muscle or joint injury by changing muscle tone and muscle movement patterns both in the region of the injury and also other areas of the body as well to protect the injured area.
The troublesome ache in your right shoulder could result from a sports injury to your neck for example, totally unrelated to your shoulder in the first instance.
Sports chiropractic concentrates on the preventative and maintenance forms of treatment as well as the immediate treatment for athletes of all levels Chiropractor's see a real mix of athletes including the amateur and weekend sports players. The chiropractor will not only look where your pain is but will also do a full assessment and look at a whole range of areas including foot biomechanics, muscle strength and weakness, range of motion etc. When it comes to sports injury management, The Spine Doctor’s sports Chiropractors in Bankstown are experts in this field.
