Running and jogging can be phenomenal health-boosting activities. However, as with any sport, injuries can sideline even the best of intentions. As part of the chiropractic approach to sports injury prevention, Dr. Smith focuses on teaching runners and joggers how to ward off injury before it occurs. When injury does take place, chiropractic offers all-natural solutions, which allow athletes to avoid surgery and medication.
The following are just some of the ways you can help prevent running related injuries:
- Get proper shoes
- Stretch
- Strengthen
- Be aware of posture and foot position
- Respect pain
The doctor may not be able to run alongside you every mile, but that doesn’t mean the two of you can’t still be a team!
