Running and Chiropractic

Hi Everyone,

I have been absent quite a while, I was on maternity leave. Now I'm back! I hope everyone had a great summer, and are now enjoying the fall colors.

I have new office hours. Go to www.kellychiropractic.com to see the new hours.

Today I have a case study of a five year old and how chiropractic changed her running gait.

Low back pain, Yoga, pregnancy, chiropractic, running, movement times

This morning I found a few studies. There is quite a mix of topics. They all came up with a search of back pain and chiropractic.

http://www.chiroindex.org/?search_page=articles&action=&articleId=18965 –Chiropractic and movement time improvements. I had previously put a link to an article about this study. Here is the link to the actual abstract, I bumped into it today.

http://www.chiroindex.org/?search_page=articles&action=&articleId=20113 – Chiropractic, running, and hip extension…Dr. Gwen wonders what would happen if they tested long distance runners where a small improvement in hip movement would be more significant.

Enjoy!

For Runners

This time of year I start to see some more runners coming in. Make sure you don't forget to keep track of how old or how many miles are on your shoes. Old shoes can cause a runner a lot of pain. It is usually a good idea to avoid new shoes if you are training for a race though.

Here is my favorite site for runners. On this site you can find all sorts of information about running "how to's". There are training guides for almost any long distance race you can think of. The training guides vary based on your goal as well (i.e. finish the race or win the race). I often modify these plans to help a previously injured runner get back on track for a race. But this site is not just for racers, it is also for someone who has never been a runner. If you look hard enough you can find a plan that is for the first time runner or walk/runner.

Happy running!
