Causes of Sports Injuries

Sports participation is an important aspect of many people’s lives, facilitating good health, social interactions and relieving stress.

Whether you play for a local team, train for competitions or just want to lose some weight, everyone will engage in sport or training at some point in their lives.

Whilst no one can deny the obvious benefits of such activity the physical exertion, equipment used and dynamic interaction with other people can lead to possible injury.

The underlying causes of most sports injuries will often include;

• Equipment, poorly maintained or inappropriate sized for player
• Poor inappropriate footwear
• Contact with other players, excessive aggression or poor spatial awareness
• Poor Technique, excessive movement or energy used. Awkward joint or limb movements
• Excessive training, intensity too high with insufficient rest periods between sessions

How Back In Balance Clinic Treat Sports Injuries

If you contact us after sustaining a sports related injury, Back in Balance Clinic will arrange a consultation. During the initial hour long session the circumstances surrounding your injury will be discussed, to establish the exact mechanism of injury and any contributing factors.

This is closely followed by a thorough physical examination to identify which structures have been affected and if surrounding tissues have been impaired.

This process allows Back in Balance Clinic to create a tailored treatment plan that will target your rehabilitation needs and achieve your recovery goals. A typical plan would include aspects to address pain relief, provide functional recovery and equip you with the knowledge to maintain your fitness and avoid future injury.

We will apply appropriate therapies including sports massage, joint mobilisations, spinal realignment and heat therapies to reduce your symptoms of pain and inflammation.

Our philosophy at Back in Balance Clinic is to facilitate the bodies natural healing processes, speeding up your recovery and reducing reliance on pain medication. Managing your own recovery and making lifestyle changes using our guidance is the best method of achieving lasting pain free recovery.
