How Chiropractic Care Benefits Bicyclists


According to People For Bikes, about 47.88 million Americans participated in bicycle riding in 2018. Cycling, a popular sport, and leisure activity is only growing with thousands of riders today. At Kosak Chiropractic in Fairfield, CA, many of Dr. Michael Wilson’s patients are avid bicyclists. Here are five ways bicyclists benefit from chiropractic care.


 


Correct Posture


A biker’s position places more pressure on your neck and back. Your trusted Fairfield, CA chiropractor evaluates your spine for misalignment and damage. Through a variety of spinal manipulations, we will correct your posture and provide different tips and tricks to maintain good spinal health the next time you get on a bicycle.


 


Relieve Joint Pain
Cycling places a strain on your joints, especially around the hip and knee areas. Using treatments like exercise and massage therapies, we loosen stiff muscles and strengthen your joints. 


 


Treat Injuries
Like any sport, biking has its fair share of accidents. At Kosak Chiropractic, Dr. Wilson is skilled in treating common bike injuries. This includes impact injuries, tendonitis, head and spine trauma, ruptured discs, and much more. 


 


Manage Shoulder & Neck Pain


One of the most common ailments bikers face is shoulder and neck pain. Hunching over your handlebars while trekking over long trails increases the tension on your spine. At Kosak Chiropractic, we recommend spinal manipulations, acupuncture, or massage depending on the level of injury. 


 


Preventative Care


Even if you don’t suffer from injuries or biking-induced pain, we strongly encourage riders to visit our Fairfield, CA office today. We believe prevention is the best medicine for overall health. Our care improves mobility, flexibility, and strength, so you can enjoy bicycling free of pain and illnesses!


 


Kosak Chiropractic is located at 1252 Travis Blvd., Suite G, Fairfield, CA, 94533. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Michael Wilson, visit Kosak Chiropractic online or call 707-426-1111.
