SPORTS PERFORMANCE & CHIROPRACTIC
Many athletes from various sporting disciplines, competing from novice to elite levels, have discovered the advantage that Chiropractic gives to their performance.
Athletes benefit from a balanced and healthy spine, and a nervous system free from interference caused by subluxations, allowing them to optimise sports performance - giving them the "Edge"
.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care:
Through Chiropractic care, athletes report:

Dr. Alfie states that:
"We see a lot of athletes seeking help from chronic back pain, neck stiffness and other sporting injuries. Through a comprehensive Chiropractic assessment comprising of a thorough case history, relevant orthopaedic, biomechanical and neurological tests, and relevant radiographic (x-ray) analysis, we seek out the underlying cause of an athlete's pain and symptoms.
From there, we design an appropriate schedule of care that aims to correct the underlying condition causing the symptoms. This may include:
- Chiropractic spinal adjustments,
- Remedial massage therapy,
- Nutritional supplementation,
- Advice on stretches, exercises and other lifestyle modifications.
All are aimed to restore proper function, improve movement, and optimise performance."
