Running injuries

Running & Chiropractic Care

Running and Sports injuries are extremely common. At Live Free, our Sports Chiropractors have ran over 16 marathons! So we know a thing or 2 about running. Understanding movement, the stresses put on the body from pounding the pavement can sometimes cause injury, strain or muscle ache.Our assessment will help answer those questions of why? Usually we see people who have increased their running milage and something as just given. Thats where a full functional assessment, movement examination, can help.
