Getting race day ready for the Anchorage RunFest? Happening August 16-17, the event is a true test of strength, endurance, and preparation. Whether you’re competing in the 5K, the half, or the full 49K Ultra, now’s the time to prep your body so it’s in peak form. Our team is here to help you stay pain-free and ready to run your best race yet.
Why Alignment Matters for Runners
From uneven terrain to steep elevation changes, Anchorage’s courses demand more than just cardio. Running places repeated impact on your joints, hips, spine, and knees. Even subtle misalignments can throw off your stride, slow your pace, or trigger nagging injuries. Our Anchorage chiropractors use targeted techniques like Atlas Orthogonal and Cox Flexion Distraction to keep your body moving efficiently and your nervous system firing on all cylinders.
Smarter Recovery and Injury Prevention
Just because you’re training harder doesn’t mean you have to hurt more. With digital posture scans and dynamic EMG, we identify issues before they sideline you. “We then create a tailored plan that may include shockwave, cold laser, or ultrasound therapies—all designed to help reduce inflammation, speed recovery, and support your mileage goals,” says Dr. Young.
These tools can also help alleviate lingering tightness from past injuries that may resurface as you increase your distance.
Keeping You Race-Ready
You don’t need to be a seasoned marathoner to benefit from chiropractic care. Whether it’s your first 5K or you’re chasing a PR, our team makes it simple to fit care into your training schedule. We offer same-day appointments and Saturday hours because we know your time is valuable (especially when those long runs start stacking up).
We want to keep you feeling strong—mile after mile. Contact Pairmore & Young: Synergy Chiropractic today to schedule your pre-race tune-up and head into RunFest aligned, energized, and ready to perform at your best.
