Sports Chiropractic
Repeated stresses can lower the efficiency of the musculoskeletal system, alter proper movement in the joints or reduce the elasticity of muscles and tendons. This in turn produces strain of ligaments and irritation of nerves. It is possible that you may have ignored the signs of tiredness or even pain, continuing your sport for too long with pain killers and without treatment . Masking or ignoring these warning signs may lead to chronic injury.
Injury is not the only problem for professionals or amateur athletes. What about underperformance? Many of you reach a limit in your performance despite regular training. I often have have athletes that report immediate and amazing improvements in their performance after chiropractic. You can see their pleasant astonishment mixed with frustration that they didn't find chiropractic earlier. This is why so many athletes consult our Goolwa chiropractor clinic; we help them improve the functional efficiency of their body. Whether it is a previously undetected spinal problem, or years of poor body mechanics, the resulting injury could potentially signal the end of a sporting career. so don't let it happen..be your best!!
Whether you are an amateur sports enthusiast or a professional athlete, your body is prone to the same kind of injuries. It is common for Cameron to see athletes with:
- Hamstring and calf strains
- Achilles tendon injuries
- Groin and thigh sprains
- Neck and lower back pain
- Shoulder injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Tendonitis
Chiropractic care in Goolwa aims at correcting the underlying cause of the problem, rather than just the symptoms. Cameron will perform a full evaluation of the functional state of the body, he will ask you questions regarding the details of your daily and sporting activities, your posture, lifestyle and habits. He will then apply the necessary adjustments, in order to mobilize stiff joints or free any compressed nerves. This effective treatment at Goolwa chiropractic is generally painless, although you may occasionally feel some short-term discomfort around the injured area. Treatment at Goolwa chiropractic will normally be followed by a rehabilitation program to strengthen the muscles, improve your flexibility and prevent future flare-ups.
Chiropractic treatment in Goolwa aims at restoring normal function to joints, muscles and nerves, but may also increase body control, co-ordination and muscle strength
