Sports chiropractic
Sports Chiropractic
Sports chiropractic is a branch of chiropractic for those with an interest and expertise in treating athletes.
The focus of sports chiropractic is to provide care in the conservative management, rehabilitation and performance optimisation of the neuromusculoskeletal system for athletes. Sports chiropractors are also strongly driven to participate in a multi-disciplinary sports injury care environment to help provide the best care for each athlete.
Sports chiropractic achieves this focus through the application of a multimodal treatment approach that include one or more of the following: manipulation, mobilisation, soft tissue therapies, electrotherapy, rehabilitation and other movement/exercise therapies, nutritional advice, strapping and bracing and other related approaches. These approaches are applied to injury management in the form of acute, subacute and chronic injury as well as in the prevention of injury and the optimisation of athletic performance through the pursuit of the highest efficiency in neuromusculoskeletal functioning
A Sports Chiropractor may possess additional qualifications specific to sport. Those chiropractors that have pursued additional study have assimilated a large body of clinical information specific to the special needs of those who participate in sport. Sports chiropractic is growing rapidly nationally and internationally and is well established at many world-level sporting events, such as the Olympic Games and the World Games.

How can we help?
Our mission is to provide quality holistic health care
focusing on movement, chiropractic and education.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Techniques (ART) are a soft tissue method that focuses on relieving tissue tension via the removal of fibrosis/adhesions which can develop in tissues as a result of overload due to repetitive use.
Corrective Exercise and Rehabilitation
This is a method that leverages on the understanding of anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics to address and fix movement compensations and imbalances to improve the overall quality of movement during workouts and in everyday life.
Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups to the skin. This increases blood circulation to the area were the cups are placed. As a result; this helps with restoring normal tissue function and repair.
Dry Needling
Dry needling increases intramuscular stimulation (essentially, reducing pain in the aggravated area caused by chronic muscle tightness), it relieves muscle pain and tightness and reduces inactive trigger points and restores function.
Myofascial Scraping
Myofascial Scraping promotes better blood flow and circulation which may support faster healing. Myofascial Scraping can remove bothersome or painful muscle adhesions. Promoting tissue length with inturns improves range of motion.
