Sports Chiropractic Care for Runners and Hikers from our Puyallup Chiropractor

Engaging in physical activity is a key part of maintaining your health. The problem is that you also risk injuries when you run or hike. By working with Rainier Sports and Spinal Rehab in Puyallup WA, you can reduce the risk of injuries and improve your athletic performance and maximum potential.

Improving Functional Movement and Alignment

Most runners and hikers benefit from care in the clinic with decrease soft tissue tightness and proper spinal alignment of the spine and extremities. Poor alignment of the back, spine and pelvic slows down your running speed. It increases the risk of injuries due to poor form. With soft tissue corrections, proper movement patterns and spinal adjustments, you can reduce the risk of injuries.
