Sports Chiropractic in Putney

Minor sports injuries and tensions, back and neck pain, joint pain, muscle spasm and cramp, shoulder complaints, and the recurring niggles that come from doing the same movement several thousand times a week.

The assessment starts with what you actually do, which sounds obvious and often isn't. Mileage, intensity, what changed recently, what your training block looks like for the next two months, what event you've got in the diary and how much you care about it.

That last one genuinely changes the plan. Someone eleven weeks out from a marathon needs a different conversation from someone who runs twice a week for their head.

Treatment is hands-on, and we'll usually send you away with something to do between appointments. We have digital X-ray on site if we need a clearer picture, which saves you a referral and a wait.

Not everything is a chiropractic problem. A suspected stress fracture, a significant tear, anything that looks like it needs imaging we can't do or a surgeon's opinion: we'll tell you and we'll point you in the right direction rather than book you in for six sessions.

The other honest bit: sometimes the answer is to reduce load for a while. We'll try hard to find a version of that which keeps you moving, because we know what happens when you tell a runner to stop running. But we won't pretend a plan is fine when it isn't.
