RUNNING CAN HELP WITH OSTEOPOROSIS. INCREASE YOUR BONE DENSITY.
November 25, 2010An article in Runner’s World Magazine, “Bone Density in Female Runners”, reveals that running can be beneficial in curbing osteoporosis, or bone deterioration. The study followed 192 female runners to evaluate running and its relation to osteoporosis. Ninety-two (92%) percent of the participants tested at or above normal bone mineral density values.
Doctors of Chiropractic, long known for their osteoporosis expertise, welcome these results as a way to prevent this debilitating disease. They caution, however, that you should get a chiropractic exam before beginning to run. Starting this routine with spinal subluxations can increase abnormal joint function in the spine, pelvis, hips, or feet. This can cause pain, muscle spasms, and joint inflammation, all of which could further lead to tendinitis, sciatica, backaches, and neck pain.
The chiropractor will also look at your foot and ankle biomechanics, gait/stride, muscle flexibility, and posture. If you want to prevent injuries and build up your performance, a chiropractic evaluation will definitely be a step in the right direction.
