Sporting injuries

Whether you are an amateur sports enthusiast or professional, your body is prone to the same kinds of injuries.

Common sporting injuries include:

  • Hamstring and calf strains
  • Achilles tendon injuries
  • Tennis elbow
  • Shoulder pain
  • Tendonitis
  • Low back and neck pain
  • Knee problems

Your consultation will help to establish the primary cause of your sports injury. Treatment aims to restore normal function to your joints and muscles as well as your nervous system, which aims to increase your control, co-ordination and muscle strength.

Helping you get back to the sport you love

Whether you’re a weekend runner, keen golfer, gym enthusiast, cyclist or competitive athlete, injuries can be frustrating and often prevent you from performing at your best.

At Newbury Chiropractic Centre, we regularly help patients recover from sports-related injuries and return to activity as quickly and safely as possible. Our aim is not only to relieve pain, but also to identify and address the underlying cause of the injury to reduce the risk of it recurring.

Preventing future injuries

Successful treatment is about more than simply relieving pain. We aim to identify the factors that contributed to the injury in the first place, whether that is reduced mobility, muscle weakness, training errors, poor technique or biomechanical issues.

Our team will provide personalised advice and exercises to help improve strength, flexibility and resilience, reducing the likelihood of future injury and helping you perform at your best.

If a sporting injury is preventing you from training, competing or enjoying an active lifestyle, our experienced team would be happy to assess your condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for you.
