If you’ve picked up a niggle from running, gym training, football, tennis, cycling or any other activity, it can be frustrating. Especially when it stops you doing the things you enjoy. Exercise is a great way to look after your physical and mental health. So anything preventing you from enjoying it, or having to stop altogether has a significant effect. At Zest Chiropractic, I see a lot of active adults across Moseley, Kings Heath, Hall Green and the surrounding South Birmingham area who are trying to stay fit and active despite nagging injuries.
How Can Chiropractic Help Sports Injuries?
Sports and exercise injuries often involve more than just the site of pain. A knee that hurts during running for example, may be influenced by how your hip, pelvis and spine are moving as a whole. I use Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC™) — a specific method that looks at posture and whole-body movement, rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Chiropractic care may help with conditions such as:
- Lower back strain from training or lifting
- Hip and knee pain related to running, or sport
- Shoulder pain from swimming, tennis or gym work
- Postural imbalances that affect performance or recovery
- Ongoing stiffness following an old sports injury
What to Expect
Your first visit will include a thorough assessment of your whole body, not just where it hurts. This helps build a picture of what may be contributing to your injury, and whether chiropractic care could be a suitable part of your recovery.
Treatment plans are tailored to your goals — whether that’s getting back to training, managing an old injury, or simply moving more comfortably day to day.
