Enniskillen Chiropractic Clinic for Rugby Players, we sideline your pain while you bounce back!
When a winger injures a calf midway through a race, or a outhalf 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 finall showing itself. Whether it is a previously undetected spine or joint problem, or years of poor posture, the resulting injury could potentially signal the end of a sporting career.
Sports Injuries
Whether you are an amteur sports enthusiast or a top-flight professional, your body is prone to the same kinds of injuries. Repeated stresses can lead to a slight loss of proper movement in the bones of your spine (veterbrae) and joints, which in turn can interfere with the healthy working of your muscles and nerves. You may have ignored the pain and carried on with your sport for too long without treatment, and now find yourself with a chronic injury. It’s not surprising that BCA chirpractors often see patients with:
– Hamstring and calf strains
– Achilles tendon injuries
– Groin and thigh sprains
– Lower back pain
– Neck pain
– Tennis elbow
– Shoulder sprains (rotator cuff injuries)
– Tendonitis
– Sciatica (often confued with hamstring pulls
These injuries often recur, may shorten promising sporting careers and turn enthusiastic anateurs into couch potatoes.
Problems with performance
Injury is not the only problem for sports enthusiasts and professionals. Many find that they reach a ‘threshold’ of ability, and cannot improve further, however hard they work and however much training they put in. This is why so many serious sportspeople consult Enniskillen Chiropractic Clinic who will work to improve both function and health.
Three Advantages
As well as speeding up your recovery from injury Enniskillen Chiropractic Clinic can enhance your perfoemance, and help to rpevent future problems.
Unlike painkilling drugs, chiropractic gets behind the cause of an injury, rather than just treating the injury itself. Enniskillen Chiropractic Clinic will carry out a full examination (including X-rays if necessary), and ask you questions about your sporting life, posture, medical history and lifestyle, to discover the cause of your injury or poor performance and make a diagnosis.
Then your treatment will begin, often with gentle, specific adjustments (the chirpractic word for manipulation) done by hand, to free stiff joints and remove spinal nerve irritation. This effective drug-free treatment is generally painless, although you may feel some short-term discomfort around the injured area. Treatment will normally be followed by a rehabilitation plan to strengthen the inured area, improve your felxibility and prevent future flare-ups.
Chirporactic treatment aims to restore normal function to your joints and muscles as well as your nervous system, and may increase your control, co-ordination and muscle strength.
Like most athletes who have benefited from chiropractic treatment, you may decide to return for regualr check-ups to keep your body working at its best. Regardless of your age, condition or health, chirpractic care may improve your athletic potential.
