Sporting activity is a great way to spend your spare time. Honing your skills, getting fit and socialising with your friends is all very positive. There are very few downsides to playing a sport but one of them is pretty big, sporting injuries.
Sporting injuries can cause people a lot of pain and issues in later life and it is therefore important we look after ourselves in this regard. There are a few things we can do to help us look after ourselves and the most important one is to reduce the chance of a sporting injury. As an expert chiropractor in Southend I believe by staying fit, stretching/warming up and knowing your limits we can avoid a lot of injuries.
Prevention is all well and good but sometimes there is no avoiding a sporting injury and treatment will be needed. Being a leading chiropractor in Southend I often get asked advice from patients in this area and as a chiropractor I can certainly offer advice and help you recover from your injury.
Broadly speaking, sports injuries can be classified as either traumatic or overuse type injuries. Traumatic injuries are usually caused in contact type sports such as football or rugby.
Overuse injuries are sustained as a result of repetitive actions being undertaken. This type of injury is common amongst runners, cyclists, people who do yoga, as well as those playing sports like golf, tennis or bowling
The treatment for any sporting injury will depend upon the degree of damage sustained by the patient and the type of injury sustained. We also take into account the patient’s age.
After a visit to my chiropractic clinic in Witney we would assess you and start you on a recovery programme using our knowledge and expertise.
