Understanding Sports Injuries
Common Causes of Sports Injuries
Most sports injuries come from overload: training too much too soon, poor recovery, limited mobility or weakness in a link of the movement chain. Sudden twists, falls and collisions cause acute injuries to muscles, ligaments and joints.
Back, hip, knee, shoulder and ankle problems are common. Chiropractic care combines joint treatment, soft tissue work and a graded exercise plan to restore movement and help you return to your sport.
Clear, personalised care for sports injuries
Every sports injury consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of how you move and train, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

Important Safety Information
When Sports Injuries Needs Urgent Medical Help
Seek emergency medical help if you experience any of the following:
- Obvious deformity, or you cannot put weight on the limb after an injury
- Severe swelling, or a joint that is hot, red and painful with a fever
- Numbness, pins and needles or a cold, pale limb
- A hot, swollen, painful calf
- Chest pain, breathlessness or sweating alongside arm or shoulder pain
How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Sports Injuries?
I take a detailed history of the injury and your training, then examine the painful area and the joints above and below it. Treatment may include joint mobilisation or adjustment, soft tissue work, taping or bracing advice and exercises to rebuild strength and control.
The aim is not only to settle pain but to find out why the injury happened and reduce the chance of it coming back. If further investigation, a sports medicine opinion or surgical review is needed I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Sports Injuries Symptoms
Aches, Strains and Niggles From Training
Warning signs include pain that appears at the same point in every session, stiffness that lingers into the next day, swelling, or a feeling of weakness or giving way. Ignoring these often turns a niggle into a longer lay-off.
Reducing load rather than stopping completely, warming up well and building up gradually usually helps. If you cannot put weight on a limb, or a joint looks deformed, seek urgent medical care. See also running injuries.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Injuries
Can a chiropractor help with sports injuries?
Yes, for many muscle, joint and spinal problems. I assess the injury and the way you move, then advise whether chiropractic care is suitable.
Which sports injuries do you treat?
Common ones include lower back strains, hip and knee pain, shoulder problems, ankle sprains and overuse injuries from running, cycling and gym training.
Should I rest or keep training?
It depends on the injury. Relative rest and a gradual return usually work better than complete rest. I will advise you after your examination.
When should I seek urgent medical help?
Seek help if you cannot bear weight, the limb looks deformed, there is severe swelling, numbness or a hot, swollen calf.
Can you help me return to sport?
Yes. A graded exercise plan is part of care, designed to rebuild strength, mobility and confidence for your sport.
