Here’s a story many Milwaukee runners can relate to.
The time to run is now, but you’re feeling weary. Your knees hurt, your hamstrings feel tight, and the shins are starting to feel like they can’t take any more weight. The marathon date approaches, and you still have mileage to make. The mind is willing but the body just doesn’t feel able.
You figured you’d soldier through anyway. You carry out your run. It’s going well, and you believe you’ve got this handled. Then pain grips you. It feels like you’ve been magically touched on the back and became crippled. Time to hobble back home. You wonder how realistic your running goals are now. This feels like it could take a long time to heal. The prospect of running your marathon seems farther and farther in the distance.
Running injuries are very common. USF states 65% of runners suffer an injury every year. But as debilitating as the pain in your body feels, you aren’t in a hopeless situation. The solution to your problem is simple:
The main cause of these problems is a loss of normal body mechanics. Your body should be evenly distributing the stress caused by running. Any dysfunctional mechanics in your body result in certain areas like the lower back, the knees, and the feet taking the brunt of the stress, causing more wear and tear. As these areas get worn out, they break down, and you suffer the side effects, including muscle spasms and pinched nerves.
Chiropractor treatment will remove your running pains. By making the proper adjustments, Dr. Koch will remove the dysfunction. Your normal body mechanics will be restored to the way they should be – pain free. Get back spasm relief from a back pain chiropractor that will make running enjoyable again.
You ever feel like you’re endlessly recovering? A leg or back spasm or an inflammation flairs up, and you stop running. You pop some pain meds until you feel better then start back up again. Except after you start running again, another injury crops up and you go through recovery again. This endless cycle continues because you’re just treating the symptoms.
Dr. Koch’s chiropractic treatment zeroes in on the source of the pain, not simply the pain itself. When he fixes what’s hurting you, the symptoms will vanish. Relieve your back and leg pain today.
Chiropractic work is the best chance you have at keeping the pain away so you will accomplish your running goals.
