Did you know that professional sports teams and Olympic teams have a chiropractor? We do much more than help with neck and lower back pain — though we do that too! Chiropractors have a deep understanding of the musculoskeletal system, as well as how muscles work to keep that system aligned.
Many of our patients here at Revelation Chiropractic are athletes looking to keep their body in alignment so that they can help prevent injuries and perform at their best.
Here in Fort Collins, we have a lot of avid runners, and if you’re one of them, today’s post is for you! Continue reading to learn more about why runners need a chiropractor and if you’d like to schedule a consultation, contact us today!
Injury Prevention
The main benefit of visiting a chiropractor regularly is that regular adjustment can help you avoid injury. Our Fort Collins chiropractors will use a variety of techniques — including our special torque release technique — to align your spine and help prevent injuries. Chiropractic care ensures that your entire skeletal structure is properly aligned, which not only helps support your back, but also your pelvis, knees, ankles, and entire body!
Improve Performance
Chiropractic care gets your body into its optimal state, improving performance. When your body is in alignment, you will get more out of training, prevent injuries, and perform better! Proper alignment supports proper bodily function of all kinds, from nerves to your digestion to lowering stress and more. Contact Revelation Chiropractic to see how we can create an individualized chiropractic plan to help improve your performance and achieve your goals!
Faster Healing for Injuries
If you’re a long-distance runner or an athlete of any kind, you’re going to eventually have an injury. If you find yourself dealing with an injury before a big race, a chiropractor can help you heal faster, hopefully in time for the race! A chiropractor can help boost blood flow to the affected area and work on the soft tissue around joints to help heal injuries
Support Pain Management
If you have an injury, it’s probably causing discomfort during your training or for much longer than you thought it would. When you have an upcoming event, managing this pain can be especially frustrating. Scheduling an appointment with one of our Fort Collins chiropractors can help reduce pain and also reduce the length of time that you will have to manage that pain. You may even find yourself needing to use less painkillers because your chiropractor helps support your body’s natural healing process.
Reduce the Risk of Further Damage
If you’re trying to push through the pain of an injury, you may be causing more damage. Runners are tough, and can race with a lot of pain! But that doesn’t mean you should just wait until after your marathon to come into our office and seek. Chiropractic care before a race can help keep the body aligned and reduce the risk of further damage during the event.
