Sports Injury Treatment in Worthing, Sussex

Are you looking for a Sports Injury Clinic in Sussex?

The human body is a marvel of engineering, finely tuned to support, protect, and facilitate movement. Engaging in sports, however, can sometimes push our bodies to their limits, leading to injuries, fatigue, diminished performance, and prolonged recovery times. At Broadwater Osteopathic Practice, we are dedicated to helping you get back in the game, and our experienced team is here to assess the root causes of your sports-related issues.

Understanding the Why: Sports injuries often have underlying factors that need addressing. We go beyond treating the symptoms to identify structural, muscular, or postural issues that may be causing or perpetuating your problems. Our comprehensive approach involves:

Structural Assessment: We thoroughly examine your bones, joints, muscles, and posture to pinpoint any faults or imbalances.

Posture Correction: Poor posture, whether in everyday life or during sports activities, can lead to strain and injuries. We provide guidance on improving your posture.

Injury Prevention: Our goal is not only to help you recover but also to prevent future injuries by addressing root causes.

Collaborative Care: We work alongside sports massage therapists, rehabilitation specialists, and acupuncturists to provide you with a holistic approach to recovery.

When to Seek Medical Help

If your injury is severely painful, traumatic, or causes rapid swelling, it’s crucial to consider immediate medical assistance, such as a visit to the A&E department, to rule out fractures or dislocations. For less severe injuries, early intervention is key. We recommend using ice packs and arnica to reduce swelling and bruising, along with rest, compression, and elevation of the affected area.
