Chiropractic Care For Runners
Those who are active runners can attest to the benefits this form of exercise can bring the body. From losing weight to reducing stress, going for a run each day can vastly improve your quality of life. However, due to the nature of this exercise, it can also cause damage if you’re not careful. With your feet constantly pounding into the ground, it can put a lot of pressure on your weight-bearing joints and lower back. At Massapequa Pain Management and Rehabilitation, we’ve seen first hand the damage that this activity can bring. Fortunately, our team can provide the chiropractic care runners need to make a full recovery should this occur.

How Our Chiropractor Will Help
Chiropractic adjustments and manipulations are the main course of action our team will take after you’ve scheduled an appointment. These services involve applying specific amounts of pressure to certain areas of your back to correct the alignment issues. When this takes place, it will be normal to hear a crack or popping sound, as this is pressure being released. These adjustments and manipulations will work wonders for your condition and can help keep you on the path as opposed to being stuck inside recovering.
