Sports Injuries

These can occur in any part of the body, and can be both acute trauma and overuse injuries.

Minor sports injuries often recover with nonsurgical intervention, with Osteopathic treatment being one such effective way to improve recovery time and relieve some of the symptoms associated with the injury.

Osteopathy can also help with the challenge of injury prevention and rehabilitation! This challenge includes primary prevention (i.e., to reduce the occurrence of the first injury event), secondary prevention (i.e., to reduce the occurrence of reinjury after a first injury event) and tertiary prevention (i.e., to reduce the occurrence of injury).

  • Below is a list of common minor sports injuries that osteopathic treatment can help with (list is not exclusive):

    1. Repetitive strains such as tennis elbow etc. (tendinopathies)

    2. Muscle strain

    3. Ligament sprain

    4. Muscle contusion (direct blows causing bruising often with contact sports)

    5. Joint injuries

    6. Shoulder impingement from weight lifting or swimming

  • Sports injury is not the result of one unique cause but likely the combination and interactions of several factors. These are:

    1. Muscular fatigue

    2. Poor form/technique

    3. Poor preparation / Warm up

    4. Growth spurt

    5. Bad luck - particularly so with acute traumatic injuries like fractures.
