Prevent Hiking Injuries with Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic for Athletes

As Fall approaches, outdoor activities don’t have to come to an end. In fact, early Fall is one of the most popular times to hike. Hiking is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get in quality exercise, but if you aren’t prepared, it can lead to injury. Here are some tips to help prevent and stop pain and injuries from occurring while you and your family are out on the trails.

Get the Right Equipment

If you are new to the hiking scene, it may come as a surprise to you that there are footwear rules. The best hiking footwear is the type that holds your ankle in a relatively stable place, meaning that you still have circular motion of your foot, but the ankle does not move a lot. This will prevent you from falling due to a twisted ankle or a bad step.

Also, consider taking trekking poles with you on the hike. Hiking injuries occur most often when people lose traction under their feet or between steps. Using trekking poles will give you two extra stability points as you walk, helping to ensure that you get all of the traction possible during your travel.

Get the right backpack for your body and the equipment you are taking. Forest hiking safety pamphlets will spend a lot of time talking about the best sort of backpack for your venture, and it is in your best interest that you think about and invest in the correct bag for your travel.

See Your Brooklyn Chiropractor Before Your Next Hiking Trip

Our chiropractors will help identify and prioritize bodily preparations that need to be done before you leave. For example, many hiking injuries happen because of incorrect or wrong stretching techniques—ending with stressed muscles that then get strained. You can help mitigate that from happening by coming to see us before you gear up for your next adventure. For more help in hiking safety for you and your group, from the best hiking footwear to the best exercises and everything else in between, give our office a call. Located in upper Brooklyn, Williamsburg Chiropractic is your best source for everything related to body health.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
