About You - Sporting Injuries
Whether playing football on the weekends, cycling, climbing, or engaging in high-intensity workouts like CrossFit, recreational sports and fitness activities are a great way to stay active and healthy. However, they also place unique demands on your body, sometimes leading to strain or injury. Chiropractic care offers a supportive approach to keep you active and help prevent or manage common injuries related to your favourite activities.
Common reasons for seeking care
​Football and Running
Football and running both involve high-impact movements that can lead to conditions like shin splints, knee pain, and ankle sprains, especially when pelvic imbalances are involved. Chiropractic adjustments and targeted exercises can help improve joint function, reduce pain, and support faster recovery.
Cycling and Mountain Biking
Spending extended periods on a bike can strain your lower back, neck, and wrists. Issues like lower back pain and wrist or elbow strain are common in cyclists. Chiropractic adjustments and posture advice can help align your spine and joints, relieving tension and enhancing endurance.
Rock Climbing
Climbing requires intense use of the shoulders, wrists, and upper back, sometimes leading to rotator cuff strains, tendonitis, and elbow issues (like climber’s elbow). Chiropractic care and balanced training to offset the pulling muscles can improve shoulder mobility, alleviate strain, and help you maintain flexibility, reducing the risk of overuse injuries.
Martial Arts and High-Impact Sports
Martial arts and similar high-contact sports can result in acute injuries, such as joint sprains, muscle strains, and lower back pain. Chiropractic treatments can help manage acute pain, speed up recovery, and prevent future injuries through improved body mechanics.
Weightlifting and CrossFit
Lifting weights or performing high-intensity workouts like CrossFit often involves heavy loads and dynamic movements that can strain the lower back, knees, and shoulders. Chiropractic adjustments, along with mobility work, can enhance spinal alignment and joint stability, helping you lift safely and effectively while reducing the risk of injury.
Yoga and Flexibility Training
Although yoga is often low-impact, repetitive movements and deep stretches can sometimes result in wrist strain or lower back pain. Chiropractic care can help you maintain joint flexibility and address minor discomforts, ensuring that your practice stays enjoyable and injury-free.
General Sports and Recreational Fitness
From tennis elbow to lower back stiffness, a variety of general fitness activities can lead to muscular imbalances and joint issues over time. Chiropractic care can assess and address these areas of discomfort, focusing on long-term strength and mobility improvements.
