Visit Our Sports Chiropractor in Puyallup

Rainier Sports & Spinal Rehab offer a variety of solutions for athletes and fitness participants. If you are using your body for intense physical activities, let our chiropractor in Puyallup, Dr. Earle, show you the benefits of stretching to prevent injuries. Stretching and chiropractic care are natural ways to keep you feeling your best. Dr. Earle's chiropractic adjustments position your back and your joints into a natural alignment that helps you move without pain.

Muscles support the alignment of your joints, so overly tight muscles may lead to joint or muscle injuries. For instance, if your hamstrings, the muscles on the backs of your upper legs, are too tight, they may pull on your hips which can cause pain in your lower back. Your body works together, so every organ, joint, bone, and muscle need to function at its best. Stretching is an effective way to prevent injuries and keep you active so you continue to participate in your favorite activities. 

Stretching Guidelines with our Chiropractor in Puyallup, WA

The staff at Rainier Sports & Spinal Rehab invites local Puyallup, WA residents and those living in the nearby areas to visit us for stretching advice. Our team shows you how to stretch your major muscles groups while paying special attention to any places that are painful or prone to injuries. Your body needs to be warm before you stretch and we show you effective warm-ups that you can do at home or prior to playing sports. Warm muscles respond well to stretching exercises and we recommend you hold each stretch for a minimum of 15 to 30 seconds. The goal is to lengthen the muscle tissue so that it learns to remain in this elongated position. As you include stretching into your workout routines, you will notice improvements in flexibility, the range of motion and pain reduction. Dr. Earle and our staff encourage you to begin right away so that you feel the immediate and lasting benefits of a stretching routine.
