Sporting Injuries

All too often amateur and professional athletes are sidelined with injuries that could be avoided. Others sit it out on the bench because their injury does not respond to ordinary treatment. Still others are playing, but at less than peak efficiency, simply because their structural system is not balanced. Progressive coaches, athletes, and doctors are realizing that pain killing drugs are not the answer. They merely cover up the symptoms, deceiving the athlete into actions which could make the injury more serious. Furthermore, most sports involve body contact, fast starts and stops, and positioning that places an unusual amount of strain on the back and structural system.

Doctors of Chiropractic consider a person as an integrated being, giving special attention to the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Chiropractic is a natural health care method that stresses the importance of keeping all the systems of the body functioning efficiently so the player enjoys peak performance, a minimum injury risk, and fast recuperative powers. Many world class and Olympic athletes, as well as professional stars and teams, have retained sports chiropractors to provide care.

Worldwide, many sportsmen and women from the elite to the "weekend warriors" are discovering the benefits of chiropractic care. Indeed chiropractic treatment is one of the most effective and popular forms of treatment for both adults and children presenting with a sports injury.

For example, a new Macquarie University study involving two Australian Rules football clubs…(click here for more) has found that chiropractic treatment can significantly reduce the risk of players succumbing to hamstring injuries and lower limb muscle strain.
