Sports Injuries & Chiropractic Care — Common Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from athletes and active people about sports injuries and chiropractic treatment.
Can chiropractic care help with sports injuries?
Yes. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring alignment, reducing muscle tension, and improving movement. This helps speed recovery and lower the risk of repeat injuries.
Do you only treat professional athletes?
Not at all. While our team has worked with Formula 1 drivers, premiership footballers, and professional rugby players, we also help local patients with everyday injuries from running, gym training, or recreational sports.
What types of sports injuries do you treat?
We treat a wide range, including muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendon injuries, joint pain, and overuse injuries. Each treatment plan is tailored to your sport and level of activity.
How long does it take to recover from a sports injury?
Recovery times vary depending on the injury. With the right care, many patients notice improvement within weeks, but long-term rehabilitation may be needed for more serious injuries.
Will chiropractic treatment improve my sports performance?
Yes. By improving alignment, flexibility, and strength, chiropractic care not only helps prevent injury but can also boost performance in areas like speed, power, and endurance.
Is chiropractic care safe for sports injuries?
Yes. All treatments are safe, gentle, and adapted to your condition and sport. We always explain what we’re doing so you feel confident and comfortable.
