Chiropractic and Sport

Sport is all about fun, competition, fitness and team spirit. Chiropractic can be a huge benefit in easing and preventing sports related injuries, allowing you to maximise your performance. You expect a lot from your body so you need to look after it and be aware of what it is telling you.

Pain and symptoms are a warning sign that something is wrong. Those knocks on the rugby pitch, tumbles off bicycles and muscle and joint stresses all add up. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the structure and function of your spine and nervous system. When your spine is properly aligned it stimulates every system in your body to work better, giving you improved:

• Posture
• Flexibility
• Energy levels
• Stability and strength
• Sleep
• Immunity
• Co-ordination and reflexes
• Ability to heal

As well as your spine, your chiropractor will assess the function of your body as a whole. Every part of you affects how your body works, for example the condition of your feet can have an impact on your knees, hips and spine.

Most sports related injuries are covered by ACC, our staff will be pleased to give you more information. We are ACC registered for the spine and extremities.

Your postural strength and co-ordination are an essential part of preventing injury and maximising potential, so make chiropractic care part of your health and fitness programme and feel the difference.
