Run Stronger and Recover Faster With Chiropractic Care

Whether you’re an ultra runner or an occasional jogger, you know the perks of this form of fitness: running helps you stay in shape, boost mental clarity, maintain your weight, and more. Pounding the pavement or trails, however, can also lead to physical strain, especially if your body isn’t aligned properly. Chiropractic care is an ideal complement to every runner’s routine, helping improve performance, prevent injury, and reduce recovery time.

How Chiropractic Enhances Performance

Running requires the full-body involvement of your muscles, joints, and spine. Chiropractors ensure that these critical areas are aligned for optimal function.

“Chiropractors adjust more than just the spine,” says Dr. Rena. “We focus on the knees, ankles, and other parts of the body that are crucial to running, promoting better run times and longer distances.”

Injury Prevention and Faster Recovery

Regular chiropractic care can help prevent common running injuries by ensuring that the joints are moving properly and that there’s no undue stress on the body. Already dealing with an injury? Not to worry; chiropractic adjustments can speed up recovery, allowing you to get back on track more quickly.

Supporting the Running Community in San Ramon

San Ramon is home to an active running community. Local groups meet regularly to train and enjoy the beautiful local scenery. One such group is led by the Tri-Valley Running Club. If you choose to join this group or another or are preparing for an upcoming race, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of your fitness regimen.

Custom Orthotics for Better Performance

Runners often benefit from custom orthotics to improve their stride and reduce impact on their feet and legs.

“Combined with chiropractic care, custom orthotics help improve alignment and allow adjustments to hold better, keeping runners in top form,” explains Dr. Rena.
