Cycling is a popular competitive sport and recreational activity in Queensland, and it is enjoyed on the road, track, and trails. Whether racing competitively, riding socially, or training for endurance events, cyclists place repeated stress on their lower body and spend extended periods in a fixed posture. While it is a low-impact sport, crashes, overuse, and poor bike setup can lead to a range of musculoskeletal injuries affecting the knees, hips, back, and upper body.
Access Ortho treats cyclists of all levels, from casual riders to elite racers. At our fracture clinics in Brisbane and Ipswich, we provide rapid care for acute injuries, and no referral is needed. We aim to ensure riders can return to the road or trail safely and efficiently.
Common Musculoskeletal Injuries in Cycling
- Wrist and hand injuries – fractures or nerve compression from falls or prolonged handlebar grip.
- Clavicle (collarbone) fractures – common from crashes.
- Ankle sprains – from falls or awkward unclipping from pedals.
