Chiropractic and Sports

Sports Chiropractic is a specialty area within chiropractic. To practice as a Sports Chiropractor requires the chiropractor to undertake additional post-graduate qualifications in sports injury management. The additional study allows the Sports Chiropractor to draw from a greater set of tools when assessing and treating an athlete in all areas of the body, not just the spine. Although our specialist training equips us well for sporting injuries, the same treatment approach is extremely effective on non-sporting injuries. Sports chiropractic follows current best practice guidelines in injury evaluation and management, including functional movement evaluation that has been developed to identify underlying causes and tailor the most effective treatment options to the individual.
