Skiing injury treatment at Nuneaton

Skiing injuries are common at this time of year, especially as those of us living in the northern hemisphere like to get away from the cold and currently wet weather to have some enjoyment in a similarly cold but drier (and often more sunnier) and enjoyable climate. Skiing holidays are popular, but bring with them the dangers of a sport that (for the beginner) includes the ability to travel at great speeds, but with relative lack of control and stability. The injuries that arise from this sport are usually collision injuries from sliding into an object (or other skiier) or from repetitively falling down. Common upper limb injuries are falls onto the shoulder, injuring the larger shoulder joint (gleno-humoral joint) or smaller (and more easily injured) A/C joint. both injuries can be painful and restrict you ability to perform every day activities (let alone do any work!)

Common lower limb injuries are often due to the torsion effect of falling either sideways or backwards with a couple of restrictive planks nailed to your feet! The joints most commonly affected are the knees and the ankles. This is despite the quick release mechanism between bindings and boots that often remains firmly attached.

Osteopathy can help with all of these injuries. We use interferential as well as ultrasound treaments for the local spasm and swelling, and massage to reduce the pain. Call today on 077-1024-4390 to book an appointment and stop your pain in its tracks – say goodbye to your painful skiing injuries.
