Sports Chiropractors achieve peak performance by optimizing your athletic potential.

Muscles, tendons and ligaments depend on proper joint movement for peak performance. Spinal and peripheral joint injuries can restrict range of motion, reduce strength, slow reflexes, shorten endurance, and decrease performance.

Chiropractic care of these types of injuries has become increasingly popular. Professional sports teams, Olympic trainers, and competitive athletes are employing sports chiropractors because they demand positive results.

Sports Medicine Australia

We all know how important exercise is for both your physical and mental health right?

Well new research from Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) has shown there are many benefits for women who undertake physical activity during and after pregnancy as well.

These include a reduced risk of pregnancy-related conditions such as pre-eclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension, and reduced incidence of delivery complications such as caesarean delivery.

Muscular Pain

Most contusions are minor and heal quickly, without taking the athlete needing to be removed from the game. But, severe contusions can cause deep tissue damage and can lead to complications and/or keep the athlete out of sports for months.

Muscular Pain

Contusions occur when a direct blow or repeated blows from a blunt object strike part of the body, crushing underlying muscle fibers and connective tissue without breaking the skin. A contusion can result from falling or jamming the body against a hard surface.

Getting prompt medical treatment for that muscular pain and following your Sports Chiropractor’s advice about rehabilitation can help you avoid serious medical complications that occasionally result from deep muscle contusions. Two complications include compartment syndrome and myositis ossificans.

Hip Pain Treatment

Hip pain is the sensation of discomfort in or around the hip joint. Hip pain has a number of causes, most of which are related to degeneration, injury, or inflammation of the muscles, bones, joints, and tendons located in the hip area.

Common causes of hip pain include arthritis, bursitis, bone fracture, muscle spasms, and strains. Hip pain can also result from disorders causing pain radiating from the spine and back, such as sciatica and herniated discs.

Through a thorough evaluation, we are able to identify the cause of your pain. Our Chiropractors and Physiotherapists are all fully trained to accurately assess, diagnose and provide hip pain treatment in all types of discomfort in hips.

Sports Injury Treatment - Hamstring

First thing’s first, you’ll want to be getting some ice on that for the first 48 hours to reduce any bleeding that may occur from the tear. Applying an ice pack for 20 minutes at a time on the hour is where you should start.

Sports Injury Treatment - Hamstring

Spinal and Sports care offer a range of muscle tear treatments and hamstring injury physiotherapy methods to manage and alleviate pain. Our sports chiropractic treatments and physiotherapists at Parramatta and Castle Hill are equipped with knowledge and expertise in sports injury treatment and sprains and strains treatments promoting healing and pain relief.

Knee Pain Treatment

Further investigations may be needed to confirm a diagnosis or assess the degree of damage such as a CT scan, X-ray, ultrasound or MRI.
Depending on the findings from these scans or a physiotherapy knee assessment, there is a range of management options available in order to alleviate knee pain and aid the treatment of arthritis. Activity modification, lifestyle changes, chiropractic treatment and physiotherapy treatment are used for knee pain relief and management. With sudden injuries, the use of rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE), can help in the first 24hrs prior to seeking the opinion of a health professional. Non-impact activities such as swimming and cycling can help to de-load the knee joint. Other knee pain treatment solutions may include assistive devices such as braces and crutches to help further de-load the knee, if the diagnosis warrants.

Sprains and Strains Treatment

Typical indications include pain, muscle spasm, muscle weakness, swelling, inflammation, and cramping. In severe strains, the muscle and/or tendon are partially or completely ruptured, often incapacitating the individual. Some muscle function will be lost with a moderate strain, where the muscle/tendon is overstretched and slightly torn. With a mild strain, the muscle/tendon is stretched or pulled, slightly. The two most common strains that present to Spinal and Sports Care include:

Rest, ice, compression, and elevation act as sprains and strains treatment and will usually help minimise the damage. It is important in all but mild cases for a Sports Chiropractor to evaluate the injury and establish a treatment and rehabilitation plan. A severe sprain or strain may require surgery or immobilisation followed by months of therapy. Mild sprains and strains may require rehabilitation exercises and activity modification during recovery.

Muscle Tear

Muscle tears are a common source of injury and chronic pain in athletes. A person who experiences a muscle tear will frequently describe a popping or snapping sensation as the muscle tears. Pain is sudden and may be severe. The area around the injury may be tender to the touch, with visible bruising if blood vessels are also broken.

Muscle Tear

Muscle strains usually happen when a muscle is stretched beyond its limit, tearing the muscle fibers. They frequently occur near the point where the muscle joins the tough, fibrous connective tissue of the tendon. A similar injury occurs if there is a direct blow to the muscle. Muscle strains in the thigh can be quite painful.

Sports Injury Massage Therapist

A sports injury massage therapist can provide more than simple relaxation. Studies continue to prove the physical and emotional benefits of even a single massage therapy session.

Joint Pain Treatment

Joint stiffness is the sensation of or the apparent loss of range of motion of a joint. Joint stiffness often accompanies joint pain and/or swelling. Joint stiffness can be caused by injury or disease of the joint and is a common finding in the arthritis conditions.

Joint Pain Treatment

Joint damage including stiffness can also occur following injury to the joint. Sometimes injuries or inflammation of the adjacent areas, such as bursae, can cause pain that may limit the movement of a joint and be perceived as joint stiffness. Joint pain is also referred to as arthralgia.

Knee Pain Treatment

Knee pain is a common presenting symptom, with the knee joint being particularly susceptible to stress from overuse or mal-alignment. Knee pain causes can be the result of a sudden injury, overuse injury or an underlying condition such as an inflammatory condition like arthritis.

With sudden injuries, the use of rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE), can help in the first 24hrs prior to seeking the opinion of a health professional.

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Pain on the outside of the elbow, usually during or after intense use, is the first sign of tennis elbow. In some cases, lifting or grasping objects may be difficult. In some patients, pain radiates down the arm.

Tennis Elbow Treatment

- Elbow pain that gradually worsens

- Pain radiating from the outside of the elbow to the forearm and back of the hand when grasping or twisting

- Weak grasp

- Symptom onset generally occurs 24-72 hours after repeated wrist extension activity.

- Delayed symptoms are probably due to microscopic tears in the tendon.

- The patient complains of pain over the lateral elbow that worsens with activity and improves with rest. The patient will also often describe aggravating conditions such as a backhand stroke in tennis or the overuse of a screwdriver.

The goal of tennis elbow treatment and rehabilitation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life–physically, emotionally, and socially.

Sprains and Strains Treatment

A sprain is caused by direct or indirect trauma (a fall, a blow to the body, etc.) that knocks a joint out of position, and overstretches, and, in severe cases, ruptures the supporting ligaments. Typically, this injury occurs when an individual lands on an outstretched arm; slides into a base; jumps up and lands on the side of the foot; or runs on an uneven surface.

Sprains and strains treatment consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation which will usually help minimize the damage. It is important in all but mild cases for a Sports Chiropractor to evaluate the injury and establish a treatment and rehabilitation plan. A severe sprain or strain may require surgery or immobilization followed by months of therapy. Mild sprains and strains may require rehabilitation exercises and activity modification during recovery.
