Whether you’re a recreational runner, a competitive cyclist or a serious athlete, injuries are an occupational hazard of an active lifestyle. The question isn’t whether you’ll get injured; it’s how quickly and effectively you recover.
Why Athletes Choose Chiropractic
Chiropractic care has long been a core part of professional sports medicine. At Diversity Chiropractic, Nick Baker brings over two decades of sports therapy experience to his chiropractic practice, having worked with professional football clubs, PGA Tour golfers, MMA fighters and elite entertainers throughout his career.
That experience means we understand the demands that sport places on the body and we know how to get you back to full training as quickly and safely as possible.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
We regularly treat athletes presenting with:
- Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff problems, impingement, instability)
- Knee pain (runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, patellofemoral pain)
- Lower back pain and disc injuries
- Hip flexor and groin strains
- Hamstring and calf injuries
- Ankle sprains and instability
- Neck pain from contact sports
Our Approach
We take a thorough approach to sports injury assessment, looking not just at the site of pain but at the underlying biomechanical factors that contributed to the injury. A hamstring strain, for example, is often linked to pelvic or hip dysfunction that, if left unaddressed, will cause the same injury to recur.
Treatment typically combines chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue work and a targeted rehabilitation programme delivered in our purpose-built rehab suite. We work with you around your training schedule wherever possible, so you can stay active while you recover.
Prevention is Better Than Cure
Many athletes visit us not because they’re injured, but because they want to stay that way. Regular chiropractic care helps maintain joint mobility, correct postural imbalances and identify potential problems before they become injuries.
If you’re dealing with a sports injury or want to reduce your risk of getting one, get in touch and we’ll put together a plan tailored to your sport, your body and your goals.
