Even Chiropractors Have Training Pain!

Going through pregnancy, labor and raising a 1 year old son made it difficult to find not only the time, but the energy for a one of my passions, running. It took setting a goal of completing the Cellcom Green Bay Half Marathon in May to get me back to lacing up my shoes and hitting the pavement! 

 

I am among many who set lofty goals for themselves and jump right into training.  Whether it's a full marathon or 5K you aspire to complete, injuries can crop up and prevent you from crossing the finish line.  Running injuries are most commonly caused by overuse... too much, too fast, too soon.  They hit both beginners as well as those more experienced.  Being a chiropractor, I was not immune to minor aches and pains from training and was chronically dealing with an achy hip after long runs.  The longer distances were becoming difficult and sometimes not even possible.  After getting adjusted and doing corrective pelvic stabilizing exercises the hip pain is improved and is no longer preventing me from going the distance.   

 

Getting early treatment is by far the best option in order to get back to training asap.  Most running injuries can be prevented.  Here at Schubbe Resch Chiropractic & Physical Therapy Centers we work to keep your body functioning to its best capacity and keep you doing the things to you love!
