Malalignment of the spine can cause unnecessary tension on one particular body part or plane. If left untreated, sites of vulnerability will continue to wear and tear, putting undue strain on different areas. To avoid common sporting injuries, such as plantar fasciitis, hip bursitis and ITB syndrome, we complete a thorough assessment including a complete skeletal, orthopaedic, and neurological examination, looking at movement patterns and identifying areas of weakness or lack of full joint function. Chiropractic care not only prevents acute injuries and minimizes recurrent complaints, but it is also able to positive influence an athlete’s overall performance. This is achieved through increasing joint mobility. By doing so, athletes can improve force vectors which subsequently increases power and propulsion. An increase in postural control also encourages the activation of core stability muscles, which allows for greater performance and minimizes undue energy expenditure.
