At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, we provide comprehensive sports injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for athletes, runners and active individuals of all ages and abilities.
With over 28 years of clinical experience, chiropractor Andrew Richards combines detailed musculoskeletal assessment, biomechanical analysis and evidence-informed treatment to identify the factors contributing to injury and develop individualised rehabilitation programs.
Our approach goes beyond simply relieving pain. We aim to restore movement, rebuild strength, improve physical performance and reduce the risk of recurring injuries, helping you return to the activities and sports you enjoy.
Common Sports Injuries We Assess and Treat
Sports injuries can develop suddenly through trauma or gradually through repetitive loading, poor movement mechanics or inadequate recovery. At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, we assess and manage a wide range of musculoskeletal sports injuries, including:
Muscle strains and ligament sprains – Injuries affecting muscles, tendons and ligaments, commonly involving the hamstrings, calves, ankles and knees.
Tendinopathies and overuse injuries – Conditions such as Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy and tennis elbow, often associated with repetitive loading.
Running-related injuries – Including shin pain, plantar heel pain, iliotibial band syndrome and recurrent calf injuries.
Shoulder injuries – Including rotator cuff-related pain, shoulder impingement symptoms and injuries associated with weight training, swimming and overhead sports.
Spinal and joint injuries – Neck, back and joint pain associated with sporting activities, training loads and movement restrictions.
Our assessment considers not only the injured tissue but also the biomechanics, strength, mobility and training demands that may be contributing to the problem.
Sports Injury Treatment & Rehabilitation
At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, our approach to sports injury management combines hands-on treatment with targeted rehabilitation and movement retraining.
Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive assessment to establish the nature of the injury, identify contributing factors and determine the most appropriate management strategy.
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include:
Chiropractic care and joint mobilisation – Where appropriate, addressing joint restrictions and restoring comfortable movement.
Soft tissue therapy – Targeted treatment of muscles, tendons and surrounding tissues to help manage pain and improve mobility.
Shockwave therapy – Used selectively for appropriate musculoskeletal conditions, including certain persistent tendinopathies.
Corrective exercise and strength rehabilitation – Individualised exercise programs designed to restore strength, stability, mobility and physical capacity.
Biomechanical and running gait analysis – Assessing movement patterns, loading strategies and functional limitations that may contribute to recurring injuries.
Return-to-sport programming – Progressive rehabilitation that prepares the injured area for the specific physical demands of training and competition.
Our goal is not simply to reduce symptoms but to help you understand your injury, rebuild your physical capacity and return to sport with greater confidence.
Where an injury requires medical imaging, specialist assessment or multidisciplinary management, we coordinate appropriate referrals.
