Sports Chiropractic in Eastbourne
Unlock Your Athletic Potential at Every Level
At Cornerstone Chiropractic, we believe that everyone is an athlete – whether you’re a weekend warrior over 60, a competitive footballer, or simply someone who wants to walk, run, and jump with optimal function. Our sports chiropractic approach focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injuries by ensuring your spine and nervous system operate at peak efficiency. When your body moves as it was designed to, you’ll discover capabilities you never knew you had.
Performance Enhancement Through Optimised Function
Rather than waiting for injuries to occur, our sports chiropractic approach emphasises performance enhancement and injury prevention. We focus on improving the depth of your squat, increasing your deadlift strength, and enhancing overall functional movement patterns through nervous system optimisation. When your spine moves properly and your nervous system fires on all cylinders, you become stronger, more flexible, and significantly more resilient to injury.
Our comprehensive approach includes detailed movement analysis, strength assessment, and identification of any biomechanical imbalances that might limit your performance or predispose you to injury. We then develop targeted treatment protocols that address these issues while enhancing your natural athletic abilities.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat Successfully
When injuries do occur, our expertise covers the full spectrum of sports-related conditions. The most common injuries we treat include shoulder and rotator cuff problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis and golfer’s elbow, knee dysfunction, and ankle injuries. Our top three areas of focus are shoulder, knee, and ankle problems – injuries that can significantly impact athletic performance and daily function.
Our treatment approach goes beyond simply addressing the injured area to understanding why the injury occurred in the first place. This comprehensive perspective often reveals underlying movement patterns, strength imbalances, or spinal dysfunction that contributed to the injury, allowing us to not only heal the current problem but prevent future occurrences.
Specialised Sports Treatment Techniques
Our sports chiropractic toolkit combines traditional chiropractic adjustments with cutting-edge rehabilitation techniques and performance enhancement methods. We utilise extensive extremity adjusting, recognising that optimal sports performance requires proper function of feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, and wrists – not just the spine. This whole-body approach ensures every joint system contributes to your athletic success.
We incorporate soft tissue techniques, therapeutic taping (K-tape), and fascial edge tools to address muscle tension and promote faster recovery. Our neurologically-based rehabilitation exercises help retrain movement patterns and enhance the brain-body connections essential for peak athletic performance. Additionally, we provide targeted strengthening protocols that complement your training programme.
Serving Athletes of All Levels
We proudly serve a diverse mix of recreational and competitive athletes, understanding that passion and commitment to improvement matter more than current skill level. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or someone just beginning their fitness journey, our approach remains the same: comprehensive assessment, targeted treatment, and education to help you reach your full potential.
Our sports chiropractic care recognises that athletic demands vary significantly between individuals and sports. A marathon runner has different needs than a weightlifter, and a weekend tennis player requires different support than a professional footballer. We tailor our treatment approaches accordingly, ensuring every athlete receives the specific care their sport and goals demand.

Recovery and Performance Optimisation
Sports chiropractic care helps athletes perform better and recover faster by ensuring optimal nervous system function and biomechanical efficiency. When your spine moves properly and your nervous system operates without interference, your body can adapt to training stress more effectively, recover more quickly between sessions, and maintain peak performance for longer periods.
We focus heavily on extremity adjusting because sports performance depends on the integrated function of your entire kinetic chain. Problems in your feet can affect your knees, hip dysfunction can impact your shoulders, and spinal restrictions can limit performance throughout your body. Our comprehensive approach ensures every link in your kinetic chain contributes to your athletic success.
