Sports Performance and Injuries In Perth
We'll keep you on track
Nothing is more frustrating than having to take time out of sport, training or physical activity because of an injury. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, chiropractic care can have a significant impact on your performance, ability and longer- term agility.
At Duigan Chiropractic, we want you to keep exercising and training both safely and effectively. Chiropractic care can prevent injuries by improving core stability, proprioception and increasing the accuracy of the brains control over muscles. When the body is in alignment and functioning properly, there is less resistance when running, jumping, kicking, and throwing.
Regular visits to Duigan Chiropractic, under wellness care, can prevent avoidable injuries. Just like a regular dental check-up, regular chiropractic, and postural check-ups can help to reduce the risk of injury and keep everything on track….so that you can keep your gym shoes on!

Are You Firing on All Cylinders?
There are a growing number of scientific studies that have shown that chiropractic care can alter and enhance muscle function (Haavik, T., 2007 & 2008; Hillermann, G., 2006). Therefore chiropractic care could be of benefit to a wide variety of athletes, from sprinters to weightlifters. Did you know, for example, that Chiropractic care has also been shown to have a significant impact on vertical jump height and sprint speed (Conradie, 2014)? Muscles perform most effectively when attached to a skeletal system that is properly aligned, allowing the body to adopt correct posture. So much so, that one study revealed findings of a single session of chiropractic spinal adjustments having a similar effect to 3 weeks of strength training on muscle function (Vila-Cha, et al., 2012). Can you think of any athlete who would not benefit from naturally improved reaction time, increased muscle strength and the prevention of muscle fatigue developing? Chiropractic care can help with all of the above (Kelly, D., et al., 2000; Niazi, I., et al., 2003; Hillermann, B., et al., 2006). To achieve your full sporting potential, your body must be allowed to function optimally and free from unnecessary stress and tension. We all know that a steady supply of oxygen is vital for exercise. Yet, did you know that forward head posture, brought on by the likes of ‘Text Neck’ and prolonged poor seated posture, can reduce lung capacity by as much as 30%? Again, enrolling in chiropractic care with Duigan Chiropractic could play an integral part in your sporting performance.
