Sports Injury Treatment & Rehabilitation
An active lifestyle is good for health, but sport and training can sometimes lead to injuries affecting muscles, tendons, or ligaments. These injuries may be sudden or build gradually over time, limiting performance and recovery.
Common Causes of Sports Injuries
- Sudden impact or twisting
- Overtraining or repetitive strain
- Poor movement control
- Lack of warm-up or conditioning
- Returning to sport too quickly after injury
When to Seek Help
You should consider professional assessment if you experience:
- Localised pain or swelling
- Reduced strength or flexibility
- Difficulty weight-bearing or moving normally
- Recurring injuries affecting your training or sport
You should seek urgent medical attention if you experience severe swelling, suspected fracture, or sudden inability to move or bear weight.
How We Assess Sports Injuries
At Tenby Chiropractic, your initial consultation includes:
- Case history – understanding how the injury happened and your sporting demands
- Medical, drug and surgical history – factoring in the bigger health picture and any previous injuries
- Physical examination – assessing movement, joint function, muscle strength, and stability, along with orthopaedic and neurological testing where relevant
- Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound (optional) – imaging soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles to guide diagnosis. Ultrasound is highly effective at diagnosing and staging a wide variety of sports injuries and is frequently preferable to MRI.
