Chiropractic Care for Runners is Important
Summer is approaching, which means that temperatures in South Florida will rise. Many runners enjoy this time of year, despite the increased temperatures. During the summer, it can be enjoyable to run early in the morning and as the sun sets. There are also "hardcore runners" that prefer to run in the heat of the day (we have a patient in our office who only likes running in temperatures OVER 90 degrees). Running outside exerts a great deal of stress and wear and tear on practically every area of the body, particularly the legs and spine. Chiropractic care can help keep runners at their peak performance.
Chiropractic Care Can Help You Avoid Injuries While Running
For a variety of reasons, runners should have their spines and extremities examined by a chiropractor. As chiropractors, our primary goal is to ensure that the legs and spine operate as they should, with the proper motion. This includes gait and posture analysis, as poor posture or technique can lead to injuries and wear and strain that could have been avoided. I always use the comparison of mismatched tyres on a car, because extended driving like this causes the car to develop other issues. Chiropractic care can help you avoid injuries and perform at your best. It will maintain one's body "fine-tuned and functioning on all cylinders," much like a car.
The intensity of the workouts will always result in "small bumps and bruises" for serious/long-distance runners. Chiropractic will help them recover faster (as we've seen with other sorts of athletes) so they can keep training without having to take time off due to minor injuries.
Chiropractic can help you maintain peak performance.
To put it simply, chiropractic therapy is similar to that of an auto mechanic for serious athletes. Chiropractic care should be used as a "tune-up" for runners, much as it would be for a high-performance sports car. This "tune-up" will help runners avoid injuries and preserve peak performance.
