Chiropractic Care for Triathletes
Train Smarter, Recover Faster, and Compete Stronger with Arthrology Chiropractic
Triathlon training pushes your body across three disciplines—swimming, cycling, and running—making it one of the most demanding endurance sports. Whether training for your first sprint triathlon or aiming for an Ironman, proper recovery and injury prevention are critical to your long-term success.
At Arthrology Chiropractic in Winston Salem, NC, we help triathletes move more efficiently, prevent injuries, and recover faster. We aim to keep you doing what you love—swimming, biking, and running—without setbacks.
Common Injuries We See in Triathletes
Triathletes are prone to a unique combination of overuse and biomechanical injuries due to the demands of training in multiple sports. At our Winston Salem chiropractic clinic, we frequently treat:
- Shoulder pain from swimming (impingement, rotator cuff strain)
- Neck and upper back pain from extended cycling positions
- Lower back pain from poor bike fit or running mechanics
- Knee pain and IT band syndrome
- Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis
- Hip flexor tightness and glute dysfunction
Many of these issues are preventable with proper joint mechanics, mobility, and muscular balance—all areas where chiropractic excels.
Injury Prevention Tips for Triathletes
- Don't neglect mobility work: Especially for hips, shoulder, and thoracic spine.
- Prioritize form across all three disciplines: Efficiency reduces stress and improves performance.
- Strength train with intention: Adress imbalances and build durability.
- Listen to your body: Fatigue and tightness are early warning signs worth investigating.
- Get assessed regularly: Don't wait for pain to address movement dysfunction.
