With the Run San Ramon 5K just around the corner—part of the annual Independence Day Classic on July 4, 2025, starting at 7:30 am from the San Ramon Community Center—local runners are gearing up to hit the pavement.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Better Stride and Posture
Proper spinal alignment and joint mobility are critical for efficient stride mechanics and injury prevention. Dr. Eric Westover and his team use targeted chiropractic adjustments to improve range of motion, correct postural or alignment issues, and optimize nervous system function. This preparation helps you breathe easier, maintain better posture during the run, and reduce strain on the hips, knees, and ankles.
After the Finish Line
Muscles and joints often feel stiff, fatigued, or even inflamed after a race. Gentle chiropractic care helps reset the body, restore joint alignment, and promote circulation for faster recovery. The Alexander Chiropractic and Wellness team also offers soft-tissue techniques and stretch guidance to relieve soreness and improve flexibility, so you can enjoy the rest of your July 4th celebration.
Dr. Westover, who overcame chronic migraines himself through chiropractic, emphasizes the long-game approach: “Chiropractic is like landscaping for the body—results come with time, but the transformation can be amazing.” By clearing restrictions in your spine and nervous system, he says, runners can maintain resilience, stay consistent with training, and reduce reliance on medication.
