Sprains and Strains Treatment in Mackay
You twisted your ankle during a weekend footy match in Mackay, or maybe you strained your back lifting boxes at work. Sound familiar? Whether you’re an athlete pushing your limits or someone who simply moved the wrong way, sprains and strains can put your life on hold.
How exactly do sprains and strains differ? A sprain affects the ligaments that connect your bones, while a strain impacts the muscles or tendons. Both cause pain, swelling, and that frustrating limitation in movement. Ignoring these injuries may lead to chronic problems down the track.

Chiropractic Care and Musculoskeletal Injuries
Chiropractic adjustments focus on improving joint movement and function. When you’ve experienced a sprain or strain, surrounding areas often compensate for the injured tissue, creating additional tension. Our chiropractor provides gentle adjustments that support your body’s natural healing process and may help ease tension and support comfortable movement. We also use low-force instrument adjusting for those who need an even gentler option.
How Massage Therapy May Aid in Recovery
Massage therapy is commonly used to support circulation and relieve muscle tension after an injury. It helps break down scar tissue that can form after an injury, reduces muscle tension, and promotes relaxation. When combined with chiropractic adjustments, massage can be part of a personalised plan to support your recovery. Your muscles need proper circulation to heal, and massage delivers exactly that.
Dry Needling for Targeted Relief
Dry needling targets those stubborn trigger points in your muscles, the ones that keep causing pain even after the initial injury. This technique aims to release muscle tension and improve tissue function. Many active individuals in Mackay use dry needling as part of their recovery approach. It can work alongside chiropractic care by focusing on muscle-related concerns.
