Sports Injury Recovery Johannesburg
Sports Injuries Suck.
Getting a sports injury is a heart-dropping moment.
Sports injuries are so much more than just pain.
It is crazy how something as light as an ankle, a shoulder, or a lower back can weigh so heavy.
Whether you play squash or padel at Marks Park Sports Club, row out of Emmarentia Dam, run the paths through Emmarentia Park, or train on the football fields nearby, the Chirofix Sports Injury Clinic is five minutes from where you play.

We treat the specific injuries that come from the specific sports you love. Not generic back pain. Not textbook anatomy. The rotational strain that builds up when you’re pushing a blade through water at Dabulamanzi. The elbow that starts flaring after back-to-back squash sessions. The knee that protests every time you plant and cut on the padel court.
The ChiroFix Sports Injury Clinic in Randburg treats a wide range of sports injuries, from acute trauma to chronic overuse conditions, and we know exactly what your sport demands of your body.
Below are the most common injuries we treat in athletes just like you.

Sports Injury Chiropractor Randburg
Meet the Doctor
Dr Faheem (M.Chiro) is a sports and family chiropractor in Randburg specialising in pain relief management and sports injury treatment.
Outside of practice, Dr Faheem trains calisthenics and is personally invested in what peak performance actually feels like: the discipline it takes to build it, and the frustration when an injury gets in the way.
That lived experience shapes how he treats every patient who walks through the door.
With nearly 10 years of experience, Dr Faheem has treated thousands of athletes and served as medical support at some of South Africa’s most demanding sporting events, including The Cape Epic, National Underwater Hockey, and the Equestrian SA Derby.

The skills those environments demand, rapid diagnosis under pressure, sport-specific adjustment, same-day return-to-activity, are the same standard applied to every patient at ChiroFix, whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply trying to get back to doing what you love.
Dr Faheem’s clinical focus reflects a straightforward conviction: sports injuries require specific care that general practitioners are not trained to deliver.
That belief is why he built the ChiroFix Sports Injury Clinic in Randburg, a practice designed from the ground up around how athletes actually heal, perform, and return to sport.

Natural Sports Injury Treatments Johannesburg
Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments for sports injuries aim to relieve pain and restore mobility. We use safe, proven spinal manipulation techniques to realign your body, reduce nerve pressure, and aid in your sports injury recovery.
Dry Needling
Dry needling for sports injuries targets deep muscle trigger points to release tension, reduce chronic pain, and restore movement, delivering faster recovery for musculoskeletal conditions.
Kinetic Strapping
Professional kinesio taping to support muscles and joints injured by sports and reduce pain and swelling. Used by elite athletes, taping techniques provide targeted relief for sprains, strains, postural issues, and sports injuries.
Sports Massage
Our qualified sports massage therapist in Johannesburg delivers targeted deep-tissue and therapeutic massage that relieves muscle tension, accelerates recovery, and enhances performance.
Compression Boots
Normatec compression boot therapy uses dynamic air pressure to flush out lactic acid, reduce muscle soreness, and dramatically speed up recovery after training, injury, or physical strain.
Electrotherapy
Our electrotherapy treatments use safe, non-invasive, targeted electrical stimulation to relieve muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing for conditions including back pain, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions.
A sports injury specialist is a healthcare professional trained specifically in diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating injuries related to physical activity and sport.
At our clinic, Dr Faheem brings a Master’s degree in Chiropractic and an International Sports Chiropractic qualification (in progress) to this role. His hands-on experience working with elite athletes at events like the Cape Epic mountain bike race, give him a practical, performance-informed perspective on injury care.
Treating a sports injury effectively starts with an accurate diagnosis.
At our sports injury clinic in Johannesburg, we take an evidence-based approach built around four key stages:
Assess — A thorough clinical assessment identifies the injury type, severity, and causes.
Treat — Hands-on treatment such as chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, or dry needling reduces pain and restores movement.
Rehabilitate — A progressive strengthening programme prevents recurrence.
Return to sport — A structured plan gets you back to full activity safely.
Early intervention makes a significant difference to your recovery.
A sports massage is a specialised form of soft tissue therapy designed for physically active people. Unlike a relaxation massage, it targets the muscles, tendons, and connective tissue most stressed by your sport or training.
At our sports injury clinic in Johannesburg, sports massage is used to reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion, and support injury rehabilitation, whether you’re a school athlete, a weekend warrior, or competing at an elite level.
At our sports injury clinic in Randburg, we use a structured 3-Stage Recovery Protocol that not only rehabilitates existing injuries but builds the foundation to prevent future ones:
- Stage 1 — Mobility & Relief: Restore range of motion and reduce inflammation so your body moves the way it should.
- Stage 2 — Strength & Power: Rebuild strength and stability in the injured area and surrounding muscles through targeted rehabilitation exercises.
- Stage 3 — Sport-Specific Function: Progressive, sport-specific loading that increases tissue tolerance, restores the mind-to-muscle connection, and significantly reduces your risk of re-injury.
