When a runner injures a calf muscle half way through a race, or a footballer pulls a hamstring as he kicks the ball in the same way he has kicked it thousands of times before, it may not be the running or the kicking that has caused the injury – but an underlying problem that is finally showing itself.

Whether you are an amateur sports enthusiast or a professional, your body is prone to the same kinds of injuries. Repeated stresses can lead to loss of proper movement in the vertebrae (bones of the spine) and joints which in turn can interfere with healthy muscle and nerve function. You may have been ignoring pain and carried on with your sport too long without proper treatment and now find yourself with a chronic injury or may have pulled or strained tendons and ligaments after a build up of inflexibility.

At Barnes Chiropractic Healthcare we often see patients with:

• Hamstring and calf strains
• Achilles tendon injuries
• Groin and thigh sprains
• Knee pain
• Tennis or golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Tendonitis

Performance

Injury is not the only problem for which sports enthusiasts and professionals consult us.

Many sportsmen and women, who we have helped overcome injury, return for regular check-ups because they have also felt an improvement in performance and function.

Because chiropractic not only treats an injury but also gets behind the cause of it, many patients are helped to a speedy recovery, feel their performance enhanced and reduce the chances of future injury.
