What Causes Sports and Accident Related Injuries
There are many causes of sports related injuries and it is dependent on what type of sports you play whether it is leisurely sport like golf or an impact sport like football. The top 5 causes of sports injuries are:
- Overtraining or Overuse and not giving your body enough time to recover between training sessions or games
- Imbalances in the spine or pelvis and muscles that leads to breakdown in muscle tissue from joint dysfunction
- Lack of proper rehabilitation work or accessories work giving rise to recurrent injuries
- Poor technique adaptations leading to stress and strain injuries
- Ignorance or not listening to your coach or your body
If you’re a competitive athlete or a mature aged athlete, it is important to get regular check-ups to ensure your body is functioning at its best and in good alignment when doing any sort of sports. More so if you are starting a new sport! When participating in sports, the general athlete should do these things to ensure any potential injuries are minimized and a longer career of their sport of choice:
- Mobility and Flexibility work: Athlete
- Strengthening and Accessories work: Athlete + Healthcare professional i.e., Chiro or Physio
- Rest and Recovery: Athlete
- Maintenance therapy of muscle dysfunction and joint imbalances: Healthcare professional i.e., Chiro or Physio

How can Chiropractic help?
Diagnose the right condition for a personalised treatment
Our chiropractors will assess the cause and severity of your condition with a physical assessment during the consultation. In addition to the physical exam, we'll look into your past medical history and any recent X-ray results available to pinpoint the cause of the pain. Determining the source of the pain is essential to recommend the right method of treatment and rehabilitation. Treatment will be customised to your condition and these options can include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
To improve joint function and alleviate the stress on your affected body parts.
Myofascial Therapy
Relaxes contracted muscles and releases the fascia that covers the muscle.
Providing long-term care as your healthcare partner
Whole-Body Treatment Approach
Our chiropractors adopt a whole-body treatment approach to evaluate your pain areas as a whole because other regions of the neck (cervical), mid back (thoracic) and low back (lumbar) may be affected as well. We aim to treat the “whole person,” not just to treat your specific symptoms.

I have scoliosis since 10 years old, so I came here in 2016 for some resolution to my back pain, thankfully I came and Dr Choo attended to my issues. Since then, I have been visiting family chiropractic for regular monthly maintenance with Dr Mark, and it has been wonderful.

My friend recommended me this clinic which is at near to where I stay as I have a relapse of slip disc. I use to visit another doctor but decided to give this clinic a try and I am glad I did. The staffs are extremely friendly and helpful. As for the doctor, don’t judge by her build. She is really skillful and knowledgeable. Attempting different techniques to relief the pain. Now I come back every month to release the tension. Neighborhood pricing with 5 star treatment / equipment. Thank you Family Chiropractic!!

I’ve been seeing Dr Mark for over 10 years, and I can confidently say he has made a huge difference to my quality of life. He helped resolve my migraine issues in the early years, and more recently treated my hip pain effectively as I got older. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients’ long-term well-being. I always feel safe and well looked after under his care. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy chiropractor.

I first came with advanced lower back pain issues that weren’t able to be resolved by previous treatment. I couldn’t stand up straight, bend, twist or even squat properly. After months of pain and little progress I decided to seek alternative clinics for treatment.
I went on Google found Family Chiropractic and saw that their reviews were ravingly positive. So I made an appointment and headed over with my latest x-ray.
What couldn’t be resolved previously in 2 months was more than 50% resolved in 2 weeks with Family Chiropractic, specifically Dr Mark. He is very skilled in identifying problem areas and targeting the adjustments. All with care and a great personality. He also gives rehabilitation and maintenance advice for holistic well being as well.
I’ve been coming here for a few years now and am always very satisfied with the entire experience, from the lovely ladies at the front desk, to the treatment, care and advice from the doctors.
When Dr Mark is unavailable, I’ve found the other doctors are just as good. So you can rest assured you’ll be well looked after here regardless who you see.
Head over with confidence and adjust away your worries and discomfort!

Dr Eunice Chong has been an amazing chiropractor, and I am truly grateful for her care. She has a wonderful, warm approach that immediately put me at ease. Through her treatment, my lower back pain was significantly alleviated, and she also provided clear and practical tips on how I could strengthen my lower back muscles. Her patience, knowledge, and genuine concern for my well-being made the entire experience very positive.
