BEGIN YOUR RECOVERY
Chiropractor In Singapore For Injuries
Injuries, whether sports-related or otherwise, can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. According to Johns Hopkins, there are about 3.5 million injuries each year in the US alone and according to Mount Elizabeth Hospital 65% of sports injury cases involve people aged 5 – 24 with many experiencing sprains, strains, and chronic pain conditions such as back pain and neck pain. Chiropractic treatment, including soft tissue therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), can play a crucial role in injury recovery and rehabilitation.
SERVICES
Symptoms We Help With
At Chirotherapy, we understand the importance of getting you back to the activities you love. Our team of experienced chiropractors specializes in treating a wide range of sports injuries, including
Sprains and Strains:
These are common sports injuries caused by overstretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles. These injuries can result in pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Chiropractic care, including manual therapy and soft tissue mobilisation, helps alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote healing.
Tendonitis
Occurs when tendons become inflamed due to overuse or injury, leading to pain and stiffness. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) breaks down scar tissue and improves blood flow to the affected area, facilitating recovery.
Knee Injuries
Various factors, such as sudden directional changes, landing awkwardly, or direct contact, can lead to knee injuries like ACL tears or Meniscus injury. Chiropractic treatment, including targeted soft tissue work and IASTM, can help reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and strengthen the surrounding muscles to prevent future injuries.
Hamstring strains
Overexertion or sudden movements can cause the hamstring muscles to stretch or tear this is common in athletes and can cause significant pain and mobility issues. Chiropractic care, combined with IASTM, helps break down scar tissue, improve blood flow, and accelerate healing.
Tennis elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Repetitive stress on the elbow joint, common in racquet sports, can lead to inflammation and pain. Chiropractic care, including IASTM and manual therapy techniques, can help reduce pain, improve grip strength, and promote tissue healing.
Plantar fasciitis
Overuse or repetitive stress on the foot can cause inflammation of the plantar fascia, leading to heel pain. We’ll use IASTM instruments to break down scar tissue, improve foot function, and alleviate pain, allowing athletes to return to their sport with minimal discomfort.
Rotator cuff injuries
Overuse or repetitive arm motions can cause inflammation or tears in the rotator cuff muscles and tendons. We use IASTM tools to manipulate the affected soft tissue structures, promote healing, and alleviate pain, while also addressing any underlying biomechanical issues.
Shin Splints
Pain along the front of the lower leg, often caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the shinbone and surrounding tissues. Chiropractic care, including adjustments and soft tissue mobilisation, can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve foot function.
TECHNIQUES
Our Treatment Modalities
At Chirotherapy, our team of experienced chiropractors in Singapore utilizes a range of evidence-based techniques to help patients recover from injuries and achieve optimal musculoskeletal health.
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Is a soft tissue treatment that involves the use of specialised tools to manipulate and mobilize soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and fascia. The technique is applied using specially designed instruments made of stainless steel or other materials, which allow the chiropractor to detect altered tissue properties and provide targeted treatment.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Is a manual therapy technique that focuses on the manipulation of soft tissues to reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. This technique involves the use of hands or small instruments to apply targeted pressure and stretching to the affected areas.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation involves using small electrical currents to reduce muscle spasms, increase blood flow, and alleviate pain. This technique is often used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments to enhance recovery and promote healing.
Corrective Exercises
An essential component of injury recovery and prevention. These exercises are designed to address specific muscle imbalances, weaknesses, or movement patterns that may contribute to the development or recurrence of injuries.
Active Release Techniques (ART)
Is a soft tissue treatment that combines targeted pressure with specific patient movements to address muscle adhesions, scar tissue, and nerve entrapments. This technique is particularly effective for treating overuse injuries, such as tennis elbow, iliotibial band syndrome, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

The recovery time from an injury varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, as well as individual factors such as age, overall health, and adherence to the treatment plan. Some patients may experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require a longer course of treatment. We will provide you with a personalised treatment plan and an estimated timeline for recovery based on your specific situation.
Yes, chiropractic care can play a significant role in injury prevention. By addressing muscle imbalances, improving flexibility, and optimizing the function of the musculoskeletal system, chiropractic treatments can help reduce the risk of future injuries. Your chiropractor may also provide you with guidance on proper posture, ergonomics, and exercise techniques to maintain your musculoskeletal health and prevent injuries in your daily life and sports activities.
In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor for injury recovery. Chiropractors are primary healthcare professionals, which means you can book an appointment directly with us without the need for a referral from a GP or specialist. However, if you are using health insurance to cover your treatment, it’s best to check with your insurance provider to determine if a referral is required under your specific plan.
If you’ve sustained a musculoskeletal injury, such as a sprain, strain, or sports-related injury, it’s best to consult a chiropractor as soon as possible. Seeking chiropractic care early on can help reduce pain, inflammation, and scar tissue formation, ultimately promoting a faster recovery.
Your chiropractor at Chirotherapy will provide you with guidance on self-care strategies to support your injury recovery at home. This may include recommendations for ice or heat therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises, and modifications to your daily activities or sports routine. Following these recommendations and maintaining open communication with your chiropractor about your progress and any concerns will help optimize your recovery and prevent future injuries.
