    Sports Injuries

    Treatment is aimed at getting you back into sport at the earliest opportunity, whilst working on future prevention through stretching and strengthening regimes.

    Spinal manipulation or mobilisation

    A degree of spinal adjustment like chiropractic or Osteopathy. Techniques vary from very gentle fine touch movements of mobilisation and stretching to manipulation

    Massage

    Relaxing soft tissue massage to relax muscle tension and facilitate mobilisation. Deeper soft tissue massage to reduce swelling, fibrosis, scar tissue formation etc.

    Joint Mobilisation

    Graduated joint mobilisation of restricted joints such as frozen shoulders.

    Neural Mobilisation

    Stretching of restricted neural tissue e.g. sciatica

    Traction

    Mechanical or manual spinal stretching to relieve compression in the neck, low back and hip.

    Acupuncture

    All needles used are sterilised disposables. Acupuncture can be used for any condition if it is felt this is the most appropriate form of treatment. Particularly helpful with O.A. knees and sciatica

    Electrotherapy including Ultrasound and laser

    To reduce inflammation and pain and to accelerate the bodies own healing processes eg achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, arthritic joints etc.

    Orthotics

    The use of corrective insoles to prevent lower limb problems eg knee pain, achilles tendinitis

    Exercise

    A self help routine of stretching, strengthening and mobilisation is given in most cases.
