At Alpha Sports Medicine, we are committed to providing tailored care for athletes and active individuals in Newport, Ascot Vale and Bacchus Marsh. That’s why we are excited to introduce our new Sports Chiropractor to our team! This addition enhances our multidisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal health, working alongside our Osteopaths, Exercise Physiologists, and Myotherapists to deliver comprehensive care tailored to each individual.
What is a Sports Chiropractor?
A Sports Chiropractor is a highly trained professional who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity. Unlike traditional chiropractic care, which often focuses on spinal adjustments, sports chiropractic integrates advanced techniques that address the unique demands of athletes and active individuals.
Sports Chiropractors provide professional guidance and assistance in:
- Optimising Movement & Biomechanics – Identifying and correcting movement dysfunctions to enhance performance.
- Injury Prevention – Developing strategies to reduce the risk of sprains, strains, and overuse injuries.
- Rehabilitation – Providing hands-on care and tailored exercise programs to support recovery.
- Manual Therapy & Adjustments – Using soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, and spinal manipulation to relieve pain and restore function.
How Our Sports Chiropractor Works Alongside Our Other Health Professionals
At Alpha Sports Medicine, our multidisciplinary approach ensures that you receive the thorough care possible, no matter your injury or performance goals. Our Sports Chiropractor will collaborate with our team to provide a holistic, evidence-based treatment plan that integrates multiple modalities for optimal recovery and performance enhancement.
1. Working with Osteopaths
Our Osteopaths specialise in treating musculoskeletal conditions with a whole-body approach, using hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, and exercise prescription. By combining osteopathy with sports chiropractic, we provide:
- Enhanced Structural Alignment – Ensuring joints and muscles function optimally for improved movement.
- Better Pain Management – Addressing both local and compensatory issues contributing to discomfort.
- Comprehensive Treatment Plans – Blending osteopathic techniques with chiropractic adjustments for a well-rounded recovery strategy.
2. Working with Exercise Physiologists
Our Exercise Physiologists (EPs) play a crucial role in rehabilitation, strength training, and movement retraining. A Sports Chiropractor works closely with our EPs to:
- Create Individualised Exercise Programs – Combining hands-on care with movement-based therapy.
- Rehabilitate Sports Injuries – Using progressive loading techniques to regain strength and mobility.
- Improve Athletic Performance – Addressing movement dysfunctions to optimise strength, speed, and endurance.
3. Working with Myotherapists
Our Myotherapists focus on soft tissue therapy, muscle release, and injury recovery. Collaboration between Myotherapists and our Sports Chiropractor leads to:
- Improved Recovery Times – Combining chiropractic adjustments with deep tissue work to relieve tension and restore movement.
- Injury Prevention Strategies – Addressing muscular imbalances that contribute to chronic pain and dysfunction.
- Targeted Treatment for Athletes – Helping those with high physical demands maintain flexibility, strength, and resilience.
