Sports Injury Chiropractor North Canberra
Assessment and personalised care for active individuals in Macquarie
Whether you are a competitive athlete, a weekend runner, or someone who simply enjoys keeping active, a sports injury can be frustrating and disruptive. At Synergy Chiropractic Centre in Macquarie, we work with active individuals of all ages and levels, from children involved in school sport to adults managing the demands of training and competition.
Common sports-related presentations we assess
Muscle strains and tears
Ligament sprains, including ankle, knee, and wrist injuries
Shoulder complaints including rotator cuff issues and impingement
Knee pain including patellofemoral syndrome and IT band syndrome
Foot and heel pain including plantar fasciitis

Neck and upper back complaints in contact sport athletes
Overuse and repetitive strain injuries
Dr Cara Sharp holds an International Certificate in Sports Chiropractic and has a particular clinical interest in the assessment and management of sports-related injuries. Her approach combines a thorough understanding of biomechanics and movement with practical, targeted care.
Our approach at Synergy Chiropractic
We assess the injury itself alongside the surrounding structures and movement patterns that may have contributed to it. The goal is not only to address the current problem but to understand why it happened and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Care may include manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, specific rehabilitation exercises, and low-level laser therapy, particularly for soft tissue injuries where there is an inflammatory component. We work around your training schedule where possible and aim to get you back to what you enjoy doing as efficiently as appropriate.
Beyond injury management
We also work with active individuals who are not injured but want to support their performance, recovery, and long-term physical capacity. Regular assessment and care as part of an overall health routine is something we are happy to discuss at your initial appointment.
If you are dealing with a sports injury or want to support your body through training, we would be glad to help. Your first appointment at our North Canberra clinic is a full hour. Request an appointment today.
