Sports Injury Therapy

Sports injury therapy is a specialised approach to diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating injuries sustained during athletic activity, training, or performance. At Dance Chiropractor Sydney, Petros Vournelis combines 30 years of clinical expertise with his personal experience as an ultramarathoner and cyclist to deliver targeted treatment that gets athletes and active individuals back to their sport safely and efficiently.

The primary goal of sports injury therapy is to accelerate healing, restore optimal function, and prevent re-injury through a comprehensive approach that addresses both the immediate injury and underlying biomechanical factors. Petros uses a combination of manual therapy techniques—including chiropractic adjustments, osteopathic manipulation, soft tissue work, and acupuncture—alongside structured rehabilitation and movement retraining. This integrated approach ensures you don't just recover, but return to activity stronger and more resilient than before.

Sports injury therapy at Dance Chiropractor Sydney effectively treats:

• Muscle strains, tears, and overuse injuries

• Ligament sprains and joint instability

• Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)

• Running injuries (shin splints, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome)

• Acute sports trauma and impact injuries

• Repetitive strain injuries from training

• Shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain

• Spinal injuries from lifting, twisting, or contact

• Post-event recovery and performance maintenance

• Return-to-sport rehabilitation protocols

Whether you're a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or dedicated fitness enthusiast, Petros understands the physical and mental demands of staying active. His approach combines immediate pain relief with expert movement analysis and progressive rehabilitation to address why the injury occurred and how to prevent it happening again.
