Injuries We Treat

  • Low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and can be caused by muscle injury, nerve compression, or disc injuries. If you're experiencing low back pain, it's important to seek treatment from a qualified professional.

    Our chiropractors are experts in diagnosing and treating spinal problems, and we'll work to find the root cause of your back pain and treat it accordingly to help you get back to full function. Our treatment approach is holistic and tailored to your individual needs, so you can be sure you're getting the best possible treatment. We'll also help you to restore function and muscle strength, and prevent any further injuries from occurring.

  • Sciatica is a condition that results when one or more of the nerves exiting the lower spine are compressed. This can cause pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness in the leg and foot. In some cases, sciatica can be so severe that it limits mobility.

    Chiropractors are specially trained to treat problems with the spine and nervous system. They use a variety of techniques to relieve pressure on the nerves and restore normal function. This can help reduce or eliminate symptoms of sciatica.

  • The sacroiliac joints (SI joints) provide stability to your pelvis which protects it from injury or strain during everyday activities such as exercise or standing for long periods of time. If these joints become irritated then they will cause pressure on other areas of the body causing pain and discomfort.

    The good news is that there are treatments available to help you feel better fast! A sports chiropractor will use gentle adjustments to free up your sacroiliac joints ensuring that you can resume your day-to-day life.

  • Neck pain is a common problem that can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture, stress, and injuries. Chiropractors are experts in diagnosing and treating neck pain using a variety of chiropractic care treatments, such as spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapies. In addition to relieving neck pain, chiropractic care can also help relieve nerve compression, migraines and other types of tension headaches.

  • Chiropractors are not only great for helping with back and neck pain, but they can also help manage headaches. Migraines are a type of headache that is often related to the neck.

    At Perth Sports Chiropractor, we use a variety of gentle treatments to release tension and relieve headaches. We also provide updated scientific advice on lifestyle changes that can help prevent migraines and tension headaches from occurring.

  • Tennis and Golfer’s elbow is a condition that results from repetitive use of the forearm muscles and tendons. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. The pain may radiate into the upper arm or shoulder.

    Sports chiropractors are able to help these injuries by identifying and determining the root cause of the problem. Once the cause is identified, chiropractors are able to provide a treatment plan that will help reduce or eliminate the symptoms. Treatment may include exercises, stretches, and/or soft tissue therapy.

  • Chiropractors are experts in the field of helping people with shoulder pain and bursitis. By using a variety of techniques, they can help to identify the cause of the problem, control any inflammation, and help you to move forward with your life without having to live in pain.

    Pain in the shoulder region is a common complaint, and one that can be caused by a variety of different things. One such cause is bursitis, which is an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs called bursae located around tendons and muscles near the joints. A chiropractor will use their expertise to identify what’s causing your pain and how best to control it with techniques like soft tissue therapy, exercise advice, or even water exercises if you have arthritis.

  • Hip pain and bursitis are some of the most common problems that people face. It can be hard to know what you should do when it comes to treatment. Luckily, there is a solution for this problem: chiropractic.

    A chiropractor will help with your hip pain or bursitis in many ways. They will provide advice on what exercises you need to do at home, teach you how to use an aid correctly if necessary, and even give you detailed instructions about how to stretch properly so that your muscles don’t tighten up again after being released from tension.

  • If you are looking for the best care for your sports injury, sports chiropractors are the best choice. They have the training and experience to help you recover quickly and effectively.

    Sports chiropractors are experts in treating sports injuries. They use a variety of techniques to help sports injuries, including dry needling, soft tissue therapy, exercise, cold compression therapy, and electrical stimulation. In addition, they can provide education and advice on how to prevent sports injuries from happening in the future.
