At Dr Kate Dinkelmann Chiropractic, we help active individuals, office workers, parents, and athletes overcome pain, improve movement, and return to doing what they love. Whether you are dealing with a sports injury, back pain, headaches, or postural strain, our goal is to address the underlying cause and help prevent future problems.

​

Sports Chiropractic Care

As an exercise enthusiast and chiropractor, Dr Kate understands the physical demands that training, running, cycling, CrossFit, gym workouts, golf, and other sporting activities place on the body.

​

Sports chiropractic care focuses on:​

• Improving mobility and flexibility

• Optimising movement patterns

• Reducing pain and stiffness

• Enhancing recovery

• Preventing recurring injuries

• Supporting athletic performance

 

By assessing joint function, muscle balance, movement patterns, and training loads, many injuries caused by repetitive movements, poor technique, or overtraining can be identified early and managed effectively.

​

Lifestyle & Postural Care

Many modern injuries are not caused by sport but by the way we work, sit, sleep, and move throughout the day.

 

Poor ergonomics can contribute to:​

• Neck pain

• Back pain

• Shoulder tension

• Headaches

• Sciatica

• Repetitive strain injuries

• Reduced mobility

 

Dr Kate provides personalised advice on workstation setup, posture, lifting techniques, sleep positioning, and daily movement habits to help reduce pain and prevent injury recurrence.

Understanding the Nervous System

Chiropractors are trained neuromusculoskeletal healthcare professionals, meaning we assess the relationship between the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system.

​

When joints are not moving optimally or tissues become irritated, this may contribute to symptoms such as:

• Numbness and tingling

• Referred pain

• Muscle weakness

• Fatigue

• Reduced mobility

• Sleep disturbances

• Headaches

• Persistent discomfort

 

By improving movement and function, chiropractic care aims to support the body's ability to move efficiently and perform at its best.
