There are a number of factors that contribute to a hamstring injury that require a detailed assessment to define an accurate diagnosis and formulate a personalised comprehensive management plan to help you through this injury.
Low back pain, hip problems, or even previous ankle sprains may contribute to your hamstring injury and all need to be considered when rehabilitating this injury. It is common for strengthening exercises to be prescribed to address these areas during your rehabilitation. Immediately commencing rehabilitation after injury will speed up your recovery.

Between each vertebrae is a disc that provides stability, allows it to move and absorb shock to the body. The two parts of a disc are the tough outer layer (the ‘annulus fibrosis’) and the soft gel-like substance (the ‘nucleus pulposis’) contained within this. A disc protrusion is where the inner layer of the disc protrudes, but is contained within the outer layer. This can then lead to pain due to the increased pressure on the nerve surrounding this. Depending on the size of the protrusion and location, symptoms can range from mild to severe. It is important to consider that some people do not have symptoms at all with a protrusion also. Depending on these factors, our Chiropractors will help guide you through the appropriate hands on treatment that is safe and unique for every individual. Rehabilitation of the affected area will be given to help provide long term relief for the pain.
