Whether you are an amateur sports enthusiast or a professional, your body is prone to the same kinds of injuries. Repeated stresses can lead to a slight loss of proper movement in the joints of the spine, which in turn can interfere with the healthy working of your muscles and nerves. You may have ignored the pain and carried on with your sport for too long without treatment, and now find yourself with a chronic injury.

These injuries often reoccur, may shorten promising careers and sideline enthusiastic amateurs to the settee. Many top sports teams now have chiropractors or osteopaths on their medical team, working alongside physiotherapists and sports therapists.
