FAQ: Chiropractic for Runners in Irvine

Do you treat knee pain from running? Yes. Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we see in runners from the Irvine area. We assess your movement and running mechanics to address the root cause, not just the symptom.

Do you treat Achilles pain? Absolutely. We use targeted soft tissue therapy, progressive loading protocols, and red light therapy to help reduce inflammation and restore tendon function in runners experiencing Achilles tendinopathy.

Do you help with hamstring tightness? Yes. Chronic hamstring tightness often comes from compensation or poor movement mechanics. We incorporate guided mobility, strengthening, and tissue work to improve range of motion and prevent strain.

Can you treat shoulder blade pain from running? Yes. While less common, shoulder blade discomfort can stem from poor posture or arm swing imbalance. We assess thoracic mobility and offer adjustments and soft tissue techniques to correct upper body alignment.

Do you treat plantar fasciitis? Yes. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common running injuries we treat. We combine manual therapy, strength-based foot training, red light therapy, and mobility work to relieve symptoms and improve foot mechanics.
