At Skelian Chiropractic Clinic we realise how important sport is to your overall health - both physically and psychologically. Whether you're an amateur sports enthusiast or a professional athlete your body is susceptible to the same types of injuries. Repetitive stresses can take their toll on your joints and soft tissues. Chiropractic care can help maintain proper motion and tone throughout your body.
The chiropractors at Skelian Chiropractic Clinic assess the function of your whole body to find the true cause of a strain or injury. A repetitive calf injury may be due to altered knee or pelvis function. A shoulder complaint could be related to a neck or low back injury. In order to resume your sport of choice and to return to fitness it is vital that the fundamental cause of your injury be detected and treated.
Professional athletes often employ chiropractors - in order to help them achieve their potential through injury avoidance and improving the co-ordination of their nervous system by removing spinal interference. Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong are two athletes at the pinnacle of their profession who have used chiropractic care to help them get to and stay at the top.
Normally the chiropractic treatment will be followed by a rehabilitative exercise programme aimed at restoring the tone, flexibility and strength to the injured area.
