REHABILITATION:
Proper assessment, treatment and preventative care is vital for those in the athletics field for rehabilitation from injury. Effective care means a faster return to exercise and sporting activities. Our sports chiropractor at Mountain Creek’s Silverback Chiropractic can develop thorough athletic injury treatment and rehabilitation programs for every type of athlete from rugby players and triathletes to surfers and motorsport enthusiasts of any age.
Common injuries we work with include:
- Hamstring tears
- Rolled ankles
- Shoulder injuries
One area we focus on during the rehabilitation process is over-reliance on other joints after injury. New joint and muscle injuries can occur after a rehabilitation program that either has not properly been adhered to or has been ended prematurely. For example, athletes may present with a simple ankle injury and rely on other joints more heavily (such as the knees) to continue the activity, risking a torn ACL. To counter-act this, our rehabilitation programs focus on restoring proper function to the joints, coupled with comprehensive testing to ensure rehabilitation ends at the right time.
performance enhancement
Athletes demand so much of their bodies and while humans are certainly resilient, we can put our bodies under stress from the simplest of things, like sleep behaviour. Professional athletes at the highest level undertake regular chiropractic screenings to ensure they remain in peak condition. Preventing injury should be seen as optimising performance. If you have noticed pain or restriction when engaged in certain exercises or movements, or you simply want to improve your overall performance, holistic chiropractic care may be the answer you have been looking for.
At Silverback Chiropractic, a neurological examination and screening of the body from our Mountain Creek based sports chiropractor will assist in identifying tell-tale signs of muscle firing or mobility issues. From there, we will create a care plan with built-in progress assessments at key points during the process. A holistic approach to care will take into account nutrition, sleeping patterns, stress and environmental factors.
