Whether you’re a weekend road warrior or a competitive cyclist, the freedom of riding is unbeatable. But for many riders, back and neck pain can put the brakes on performance and enjoyment. At Salina Family Chiropractic in Spokane, WA, we understand the unique strain cycling places on the body—and we’re here to help you ride stronger and recover faster.
Why Cyclists Experience Pain
Back, neck, and shoulder pain are common among cyclists due to posture, repetitive motion, and improper bike fit. Over time, this strain can limit performance and lead to chronic discomfort. A well-trained chiropractor can evaluate your body mechanics, identify imbalances, and create a plan to restore comfort and function.
The Chiropractic Advantage for Cyclists
Chiropractors bring a unique set of skills to cycling injury care. With a deep understanding of musculoskeletal function, sports chiropractors address not just pain, but its root cause. This often includes adjustments, myofascial release, muscle therapy, and corrective exercise.
Successful treatment also requires a comprehensive approach. Nerves, muscles, and joints must all be treated in tandem to reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence. Our team may collaborate with physical therapists or athletic trainers to ensure full-spectrum care.
What Cyclist Care Often Includes
- Spinal and extremity adjustments for improved alignment and motion
- Soft tissue therapy to release tension and support mobility
- Custom exercises and stretches to aid recovery and prevent injury
- Postural analysis and correction—on and off the bike
- Professional bike fitting recommendations to reduce strain
While chiropractic care is highly effective, healing requires teamwork. Your commitment to follow care instructions, stretch, and strengthen between visits is essential to seeing optimal results.
Better Fit. Better Form. Better Performance.
Beyond pain relief, sports chiropractors help cyclists improve efficiency by correcting posture and optimizing mechanics. A properly fitted bike and refined riding posture can not only prevent injury but improve speed and endurance.
