Chiropractic for Sports Injuries in Basingstoke Athletes

Chiropractic Solutions for Sports Injuries in Basingstoke Athletes

Basingstoke boasts a vibrant sports community, with athletes participating in various disciplines. However, physical activities can sometimes lead to injuries. Chiropractic care  at Connective Chiropractic may help to provide a solution for both the prevention and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries.

Common Sports Injuries we see at Connective Chiropractic

We see many sports injuries in the clinic. We are well placed to help with our bespoke Chiropractic, Massage, Pilates and Functional movement care. More commonly we see a wide range of Basingstoke athletes coming in for care after having pushed things too far, or a little too quickly. We often see things like:

• Sprains and Strains: This is often caused from overstretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles. From footballers and referees with groin and hamstring strains, through to the weightlifters and body builders who need to gauge their own power and strength.
• Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive motions. This isn’t only because of repetitive sports motions from running, hockey or other field sports, but also because of equipment choices, including footwear.
• Joint Dislocations: Misalignment of joints from impacts or falls. We don’t tend to deal with dislocations too much- we tend to suggest this is something for your medical teams to help with, but we are able to diagnose and refer out to where something might need additional imaging or more medical attention.
• Back and Neck Injuries: Resulting from improper techniques or sudden movements, but also just from the repetition of sports. These can happen either on the athletics pitch down to the pool.
•  Postural Misalignments – Even the smallest issue in posture can create additional tension or drag on your sporting performance. Basingstoke horse riders, for example, know too well the effect of poor posture on both horse and rider. Basingstoke runners might also be aware of the effect that running gait may slow your running time down but also create general mechanically caused aches and pains up into the knees or hips.
