Sports Injuries

Whether you're a seasoned competitor or simply enjoy staying active, understanding the nature of sports injuries and effective prevention is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, our sports injury therapy helps patients achieve long-term well-being and peak performance.

Common types of sports injuries 

• Sprains and strains — These soft tissue injuries involve damage to ligaments (sprains) or muscles and tendons (strains). They are typically caused by overstretching or excessive force.

• Fractures — Bone fractures can result from high-impact activities or falls. These injuries are severe and require immediate medical attention.

• Dislocations — Joint dislocations occur when the bones are forced out of their natural alignment, often due to impact or improper movement.

• Tendon injuries — Conditions such as tendinitis arise from repetitive motions, which irritate the tendons over time.

These injuries often stem from overuse, improper technique and inadequate preparation. We advise our clients on preventive techniques to help minimise these risks and engage in their activities safely.

Sports injury treatments

We offer various non-invasive treatment options to promote recovery and restore function, including:

• Chiropractic adjustments — Chiropractic sports injury therapy addresses alignment issues contributing to joint pain and muscle strain.

• Soft tissue therapy — This targeted therapy for soft tissues, including muscles and tendons, helps release tension and promotes healing in injured areas.

• Rehabilitation exercises — Our tailored sports injury rehab programs help you gradually restore strength and flexibility.
