Chiropractor Approved Tips for Runners

By Genevieve Cunningham

Running is an excellent way to stay in shape. It works virtually every muscle in the body and burns massive calories. It’s also something that people really get into. When a person loves running, they really love it. Unfortunately, this is also a practice that is incredibly hard on the body, especially the back. If you want to keep on running but without the pain, take a look at these tips for keeping the back and body healthy.

Check Your Posture

You probably already know this, but it's worth mentioning again: Posture matters. The way you hold your body has a big impact on the way that you feel … whether you’re sitting, standing, or running. To run with good posture, it’s important to pay attention to proper form. Though every runner will have their own style, good form will allow your feet to hit the ground without pain, your abs to be worked but not overworked, and your back to be protected.

Buy New Shoes

Supportive shoes are important all the time, but this is especially true when running. A serious runner should probably have more than one pair of shoes anyway, but if not, buying a new pair after about six months is crucial. If your shoes get too worn, your main support system suffers, which can then cause pain in the feet and the back.

Get Chiropractic Care

Besides these tips, it’s also incredibly beneficial to get regular chiropractic care. Chiropractors can continually remove restrictions from the vertebrae of the spine. This eliminates both tension and pain that can build as a result of these problem areas. For the average runner, this means a stronger and more flexible back, as well as less pain overall. If you want to keep running for the foreseeable future, taking care of your back with chiropractic care is a wise idea.

If you would like to try chiropractic care to keep yourself running, check out The Joint. At The Joint, getting care is easier than ever before. Their walk-in visits and affordable hassle-free pricing is excellent. Running is a great activity to keep up, but it’s important to keep the body healthy.
