Our Services

Pediatric Chiropractic

What is it? Techniques used with children here are exceptionally gentle, one or two fingers with the lightest pressure, nothing like a standard adult adjustment. Each visit includes a thorough assessment of your child’s posture and movement, along with practical home-care guidance to support them between appointments.

Who is it for? Children from infancy through adolescence, particularly those whose parents have noticed discomfort, movement concerns, or changes in posture during growth phases, heavy backpack use, or early sports participation.

Benefits

Gentle, age-appropriate care at every stage
Postural assessment tailored to your child’s needs
Practical home strategies for parents
Ground-floor, pram-friendly clinic access
Saturday appointments available

LEARN MORE

Pregnancy Chiropractic

What is it? Every prenatal care plan here begins with a thorough phone consultation before the first visit, followed by an in-person assessment that accounts for the individual’s stage of pregnancy and presenting symptoms. All techniques are specifically adapted for pregnancy; completely different from standard adjustments.

Who is it for? Expectant mothers experiencing lower back pain, neck tension, or carpal tunnel symptoms related to the postural and hormonal changes of pregnancy, at any stage.

Benefits

Tailored care based on the individual’s pregnancy stage
Techniques adapted specifically for pregnancy comfort and support

Sports Chiropractic

What is it? A multimodal approach combining chiropractic adjustments, 25 years of massage experience, physiotherapy equipment, osteomyology techniques, and shockwave therapy, all integrated into one personalised plan. The initial assessment is 30 minutes and covers training history, biomechanics, sport-specific orthopaedic tests, and a full physical evaluation before any care begins.

Who is it for? Active people of all levels, from weekend warriors to competitive athletes, dealing with shoulder, knee, foot, or soft tissue injuries, or looking to address performance limitations and help reduce strain associated with training demands.

Benefits

Full multimodal care in one clinic
Sport-specific biomechanical assessment
Shockwave therapy for persistent soft tissue complaints
Same-day and Saturday appointments available
Care focused on return to sport, not just pain relief

Auto Accident Chiropractic

What is it? Post-accident care here focuses on early musculoskeletal assessment following a collision, even where symptoms are mild or delayed. Following a thorough evaluation, our approach may include gentle soft-tissue work aimed at easing muscle tension and stiffness, and adjustments intended to support comfortable movement and joint mobility.

Who is it for? Anyone who has been involved in a vehicle collision and is experiencing, or wants to get ahead of, neck, back, or musculoskeletal discomfort, even if symptoms have not yet appeared.

Shockwave Therapy

What is it? Despite its name, shockwave therapy uses no electricity. Rapid mechanical pulses are delivered to targeted tissues, increasing blood flow, used as part of a broader approach for persistent soft tissue complaints, and designed to support recovery in targeted soft tissues. Here, it is always integrated with chiropractic and soft tissue care, not used in isolation.

Who is it for? Those with chronic soft tissue injuries that haven’t responded fully to other treatments, particularly tendinopathies such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis.

Benefits

Used in the management of persistent soft tissue complaints
Commonly used for persistent tendon and soft tissue conditions
Short session times with minimal downtime
Benefits continue developing for days after each session
Often incorporated alongside other manual therapy approaches

LEARN MORE

Physiotherapy

What is it? Physiotherapists here work in co-management with chiropractors and osteopaths, combining techniques across disciplines for a more holistic approach to patient care. Our methods include rehabilitation exercises, home stretching programmes, and the use of physiotherapy equipment, with referral for further investigation when needed.

Who is it for? Patients recovering from sports injuries, accidents, or surgery, as well as those dealing with ongoing neck pain, back pain, or restricted muscle and joint movement.

Two Convenient Locations, Easy Care

Life doesn't stop for pain, and neither should access to care. Croydon Sports Injury Clinic Ltd offers same-day appointments when available—just call first so we can properly prepare for you. We're open early (7 am) and stay open late (until 9 pm Monday through Friday), which proves invaluable for busy professionals who can't sacrifice their workday for healthcare appointments. Saturday appointments mean your weekend is available for recovery when you need it most.

We operate two convenient Croydon locations, each serving different needs. Our established South Croydon clinic (Surrey CR0 4NZ) has nearly 16 years of history in the community—the location many of our long-term patients know and love. Our newer location at Wing Yip Centre (CR2 8LB) offers ground-floor accessibility, making it ideal for families with prams, pregnant mothers, or anyone for whom stairs present a challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Croydon Sports Injury Clinic Ltd Ltd been helping patients in South Croydon?

16 years.

Who will I see during my appointment?

Dr Roddy Knight, Chiropractor.

What conditions do you commonly treat at the clinic?

Back, neck, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist and knee pain; sports injuries; headaches; pinched nerve and impingement; sports-specific rehabilitation; and injury prevention.

What services do you offer?

Chiropractic, osteomyology and sports massage.

Do I need a referral from my GP to see a chiropractor?

We accept private referrals and GP referrals for patients with private health insurance, but generally, anyone can attend once they've had a pre-appointment telephone conversation. We do not accept walk-ins.

Does health insurance cover chiropractic visits?

We're a recognised provider with a number of major private health insurers. We'd always recommend checking your specific policy and any pre-authorisation requirements with your insurer before booking.

How much does treatment cost?

The initial consultation is 30 minutes and costs £80. Follow-up sessions are 15 minutes and cost £40.

Will I get adjusted on my first visit?

Whether care is provided on your first visit depends on the findings of your assessment and diagnosis. We may recommend a course of treatment, or refer you elsewhere, including for private imaging such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound, depending on what's appropriate for you.

Once I go to a chiropractor, will I always have to go?

This depends entirely on your individual condition, needs and circumstances. There's no fixed expectation of ongoing treatment; recommendations are based on your assessment and progress.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Techniques are selected with patient comfort in mind and are generally well tolerated. As with any manual therapy, some patients experience mild, short-lived soreness afterwards, which typically settles within a day or two.

Can chiropractic help with chronic pain, sports injuries, or pregnancy-related discomfort?

Over the years, many patients have reported positive outcomes for chronic pain, sports injuries and pregnancy-related discomfort. Every case is assessed individually, and results vary from person to person.

Why would I have my newborn or young child adjusted?

Our patient base is primarily adult athletes, and for very young infants, we're happy to refer you to clinics with more day-to-day experience with that age group. For older children, we assess muscle and joint restrictions, which may help encourage healthy movement and posture as children grow, covering things like exercise, correct school-bag use, and safe lifting techniques, helping them build good habits that may benefit spinal health over the long term.

Can chiropractic help with colic - and how does it work?

Our patient flow over 16 years has developed around the active adult and sporting population rather than very young infants, so this isn't an area we see often. We'd recommend a clinic with a younger patient demographic and more regular, recent experience with infant care, and we're happy to help point you in the right direction.

Can someone who has had back surgery see a chiropractor?

Every patient is assessed on arrival, including a full history covering past treatments, operations and medications, alongside a real-time physical assessment of muscle, joint and nerve function. Recommendations are then made based on your individual presentation and history.

Do you work with medical doctors or other healthcare professionals?

Yes, we've built relationships with local health clubs, allied health professionals, and GP surgeries.

Will you suggest exercises or lifestyle tips to support my recovery?

Yes, where appropriate, we provide exercises and recommendations designed to fit into your daily routine.

Do you offer same-day or emergency appointments?

Yes, subject to availability, including out-of-hours and weekend appointments. As with all patients, a pre-appointment phone call is required so we can understand what help you need and confirm the clinic or another service, including A&E if appropriate, is the right fit for your situation.

What are your clinic hours?

Please see the Contact Us page on our website for full up-to-date hours. We're open through the week with Saturday and select out-of-hours availability depending on the season.

Is there parking available at your South Croydon and Wing Yip Centre locations?

There's on-street parking near our Selsdon High Street site (via the RingGo app), and many patients combine their visit with a trip to nearby Aldi or Sainsbury's; please check each retailer's own parking terms. Parking is also available on surrounding streets, most of which are without yellow-line restrictions. At the Wing Yip Centre, parking is available for up to two hours on the ground floor and four hours on the first floor, with disabled access. Please note that private on-site parking is only available at our South Croydon location.

What can I expect during my first appointment?

A welcoming, professional assessment including a full history, physical examination, and an explanation of the findings and recommendations. Depending on your individual presentation and the time available, this may include treatments such as soft tissue massage or adjunctive therapies like interferential therapy, ultrasound, shockwave therapy, mobilisation, or manipulative therapy.
