Chiropractic for Runners & Endurance Athletes in Shoreditch & East London

Are you training for a marathon, smashing your Parkrun PB, or just running to stay fit? Whether you’re a casual jogger or an endurance athlete, running takes a toll on your body. From shin splints and ITB tightness to hip pain and stiff backs, even small imbalances can turn into frustrating injuries that slow you down.

At Haptic Chiropractors in Shoreditch, we help runners across East London stay injury-free, recover faster, and perform at their best with tailored chiropractic care.

Why Runners Get Injured

Running is repetitive — thousands of steps, pounding the pavement with each stride. Common running-related issues include:

  • Shin splints and stress reactions

  • Knee pain (runner’s knee / IT band syndrome)

  • Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

  • Hip and pelvic imbalances

  • Lower back and postural strain

Research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2018) reported that up to 79% of runners experience an injury every year, often from overuse and biomechanical stress.

How Chiropractic Helps Runners

Chiropractic isn’t just about fixing pain — it’s about keeping you running stronger, longer, and smarter.

  • Restore alignment in the spine, hips, knees, and ankles for efficient movement

  • Improve joint mobility to reduce stiffness and prevent overload

  • Relieve muscle tension from training and racing

  • Boost performance & recovery with better biomechanics

  • Prevent recurring injuries by correcting imbalances

A study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine (2010) found that chiropractic care improved joint mobility, muscle strength, and overall athletic performance in endurance athletes.
