Treatment is effective for strains of every joint in the body and for every sport. There are many reasons why sports injuries occur. We all know that exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Accidents can and do happen but there are a number of other reasons for sports injuries.
- Inadequate and or inappropriate preparation for sport
- Playing on after sustaining injury
- Too much training or repetitive activities
- Improper equipment
- Incorrect technique
- Collision
- Returning to sport, too soon following injury
Treatment is designed to relieve your symptoms, reduce pain discomfort, reduce the inflammatory process and promote tissue healing. The pain is more often than not, a result of localised swelling of tissue, which then creates pressure on nerves.
The Osteopath will work with you to develop an effective treatment plan, which takes into account your lifestyle, leisure activities and general health. Osteopaths are experts in body movement and understand how muscles and joints work and why injuries occur.
Instead of drugs, osteopaths use their hands, both to discover the underlying causes of pain and to carry out treatment, using a combination of soft tissue massage, stretching, electrotherapy and manipulation, where appropriate, to improve the range of joint movement.
