Sports Chiropractic
Caringbah, Sutherland Shire
At Shire Spine & Sport, we provide evidence-based chiropractic care for a wide variety of people. Even though we specialise in sports chiropractic for active individuals and athletes of all levels, we also are lucky enough to treat plenty of member of the general population as well. Basically, if you are looking to move better, train harder and keep injury away, we have the solution for you.
Based in Caringbah, we help patients across the Sutherland Shire with a personalised, movement focused approach that combines hands on manual therapy and adjustments with gym based mobility and strength programs.
What is Sports Chiropractic?
As the name suggests, sports chiropractic involves the application of all facets of chiropractic to the sporting population. We believe that by addressing all functional parts of the body – joints, muscles and nervous system – we can create ideal conditions for improving injury and increasing performance. This is coupled with in depth knowledge and understanding of the sport you play to make sure that treatment and rehab interventions compliment your sporting performance.

Our approach + what to expect
We don’t chase symptoms, we assess all facets of your body and movement to work out the root cause of your problem. This is not a facility where you “get cracked” and go on your way – we start with a detailed history, thorough examination of movement, affected area, current capacity and other symptoms before we proceed with hands on treatment.
Following that, you are provided with a personalised rehab and strength plan that addresses YOUR specific issues, not a basic cookie cutter program.
We do not rush through our appointments (often spending longer than average with patients) and you will leave your appointment with a clear plan to move forward.
Why choose us?
At Shire Spine & Sport, we truly believe we have created a facility where we can provide a solution to any health, injury or performance problem you may have. We have extensive experience dealing with athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors to international sportspeople.
We integrate all treatment with industry leading technology from VALD performance, which give us objective data that we would not be able to see with the naked eye. Everybody is different, every case is different, so your treatment and care should be too – highly individualised and constantly updated.
Whether your goal is to simply get out of pain quickly, or long term athletic development, many of our chiropractic patients also benefit from our in house strength and conditioning coaches when looking to take that next step in training or sport.
