Poor posture during sporting activities and mild joint irritations may prevent you from performing at your best. Injuries such as recurrent Ankle sprains, Hamstring strains, Tennis elbow, Golfers elbow or Runners knee may make it difficult to train. Our Chiropractors can assess your musculoskeletal system to find areas of joint or muscle restriction that may be causing your body biomechanical strain. Any areas of biomechanical strain may reduce your optimum performance, or eventually may result in injury.
Whilst Chiropractic is best known for treatment of the back we also treat other joints of the body. Our Chiropractors have an understanding of all your body joints, muscles and nerves. A thorough examination will help your Chiropractor find out whether the pain that you are feeling is a ‘referred pain’ from your spine or a more local pain within a joint or muscle. Other techniques may be used alongside Chiropractic.

Myofascial dry Needling is a form of therapy adapted from Acupuncture. It uses western-based anatomy and physiology to select the points, known as myofascial trigger points, found in muscles throughout the body. Dry Needling may be used in treating muscular pain and dysfunction. Stimulation of trigger points (hyper-irritable points in the muscle) using Dry Needling can desensitise these points and associated referral pain areas and promote healing. It can be used to treat conditions such as joint pain and osteoarthritis, inflammatory conditions such as tendonitis as well as acute and chronic trigger point pain. Sonja Low, Tobias Gunnee and Steven Bond use this technique.
