Avoiding Injuries While You Run

Running is very healthy..

Running is a great way to stay in shape. But it can take a toll on your muscles and joints. To avoid running injuries, it's important to take precautions before you set out. It is important to listen to your body. Don't ignore pain. If you notice consistent pain in a muscle or joint that doesn't get better with rest, see your health local chiropractor.




There are many injuries that can occur from running and not warming up the proper way.

Some injuries include: Piriformis Syndrome, Groin Pull, Hamstring Strain, Calf Muscle Pull, Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints, Runner's Knee, IT Band Syndrome, and Spinal Compression. All of these injuries can be prevented with proper running shoes. Wear proper-fitting socks and shoes with good arch support. If the soles of your running shoes have worn thin or are angled, you should get a new pair.  It is also important to warm up/cool down of the muscles to help prevent injury. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your local chiropractor and see what we can do for you!
