How can a recurrence of the problem be prevented?
This, of course, will depend upon the problem itself, but many sports injuries are caused by a poor approach to sport. It is vitally important that you warm up before you start, and stretch when you have finished. If you been away from your sport for a long time, your body will be less fit and supple, making injury more likely. Your BCA chiropractor will be able to advise you in either case.
