SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Chiropractic Group is working to educate Santa Barbara Marathon runners and other area athletes on the benefits of chiropractic care by touting the impact it can have on overall performance. Marathon participants can benefit from chiropractic care before and after the run.
It is no secret that training to take part in marathons requires a ton of dedication to health, wellness, and the overall condition of your body. But, did you know that adding in chiropractic can also increase your overall performance and offer a competitive edge?
Many elite athletes—including Olympic-level competitors— swear by adding this type of care to their normal training routines and even undergo adjustments in the days leading up to a big event. That’s why the team at Advanced Chiropractic Group is working to educate Santa Barbara runners and athletes on the benefits of regular chiropractic when preparing for and recovering from marathons.
“Whether you are just starting out or have participated in marathons for decades, chiropractic care is ideal for athletes at all training levels,” explains Dr. Michael Hergenroether. “By ensuring your body is in alignment, you can help increase your range of motion and really impact your overall performance.”
The process includes applying pressure to the body with a series of positions and movements during a chiropractic adjustment session, allowing runners to relieve pressure on the hips, spine, and pelvis. In turn, this can allow for an overall balanced gait during an event.
And, as Dr. Hergenroether explains, chiropractic care can also aid in the healing process should a runner become injured.
“Feeling pain is not a normal reaction in the body and signals there is an issue. With chiropractic care or even the addition of massage therapy, we work to help reduce that pain, minimize inflammation, and increase the speed of healing through non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical methods,” he continues. “In most cases, this allows us to get the patient back to training in less time than they would have imagined.”
