Sports injuries

Nearly all of sports injuries generally fit into two groups: 1) traumatic injury, such as a slip, fall, or collision and, 2) repetitive stress or overuse injury.

Shoulder pain

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and is often affected by problems that limit the range of movement in the joint.

The treatment of shoulder pain depends entirely on the cause of the problem. It is vital to accurately diagnose the problem before any treatment can start. 

Lower back pain

The lumbar spine takes on an enormous amount of stress. Chiropractic can help to relieve back pain, help restore mobility and treat neuro-musculoskeletal disorders.

Neck pain

Neck trauma is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person's neck following a sudden acceleration-deceleration force. The appropriate chiropractic treatment is unique to each neck trauma injury and is directed at the primary dysfunctions detected during the chiropractic exam. 

Hip pain

Hip Pain is the discomfort in or around the hip joint, where the upper end of the thigh bone fits into the socket of the hip bone. 

During treatment - I examine your back, knee, ankle and foot as all these areas can influence the hip problem. We can then target areas and improve movement of the joint, strengthening weakened muscles and give advice on lifestyle and exercise.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis causes an abnormal curvature of the spine. The degree of scoliosis may range from mild to severe. Research has shown that using the Chiropractic methods from the onset of being diagnosed with scoliosis ( whatever age ) has stabilizing effects on the spine, and prevented the curve from progressing in young children and adolescences. 

Knee pain

The Knee is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the body. Causes of knee pain include injury, degeneration, arthritis, possible infection but rarely tumors.

During treatment - we assess and evaluate the other joints and muscles relating to the knee with the aim to reduce the joint inflammation and reduce pain, normalise the joint function and provide rehabilitation exercise programmes, which will improve strength, endurance and stability.

Foot dysfunction

No one shares the same foot structure. Many of us rarely give our feet a second thought, until they cause us pain. A small abnormality in foot function can have a large impact on the entire body 

At BG Sports Chiro we will complete an analysis of the injury or issue and provide a treatment plan and custom make Orthotics to ensure stability.

Headaches

Headaches occur in all ages and walks of life.

There are many types of headaches from sinus to migraines to toxic, to the most common type, the tension or ‘stress’ headaches. 

Chiropractors do not prescribe medications or recommend surgery but instead have success in relieving the pain. The ability of the Chiropractor is in adjusting the spinal abnormalities to lessen the forces that are contributing to the headache pain. Other techniques such as massage and heat therapy can also be a remedy.
