Treatments for Sports Injury

Whether you are an elite athlete or enjoy playing your sport socially just for fun and fitness, an osteopath can help treat the recurring pains or injuries that may occur due to that sport. You will not find a better treatment for sports injuries .

Osteopaths can help to prevent and treat many sporting injuries, including:

shoulder pain such as tendonitis and injury to the rotator cuff muscles
neck and back strains
hip and pelvic tightness or injuries which in some instances contribute to recurring hamstring tears
knee pains such as bursitis and osteochondritis
leg pains such as shin splints
ankle, heel and foot pains

As well as relieving your pain, your osteopath can help to improve your joint mobility and muscle flexibility to optimise your performance while you participate in sport. By making improvements to your structure in this way your osteopath will minimise the recurrance of sporting injuries and improve your recovery time.

Pain killers and joint injections are only likely to mask any problem.
See an osteopath to recognise and treat the underlying problem before the condition worsens. If you suffer from a sports related injury - suffer no longer. Make an appointment today to see Peter at Ballam Park Osteopathy (near Frankston) and take first step to being pain free.
