Chiropractic for Cyclists

Chiropractic care is an effective way to improve your cycling experience, treat or prevent common cycling injuries, and enhance your enjoyment of cycling. The staff at Hosmer Chiropractic has helped cyclists at all levels - from everyday commuters to professional racers - recover from pain and injuries, and optimize performance.

Cycling and Injuries

Portland is renowned for its bike-friendly atmosphere, bicycle infrastructure, and its large community of cycling enthusiasts. Dr. Hosmer has been racing bikes at an elite level for 15 years, and is also a dedicated bicycle commuter for over 20 years. His clinic sponsors a racing team and he understands your passion for bicycles. He is also an expert in diagnosing and correcting the underlying causes of your cycling-related pain or discomfort. Certain musculoskeletal problems tend to develop with considerable regularity in cyclists and should be treated in a timely and appropriate manner by competent healthcare professionals, such as those at Hosmer Chiropractic Health. Common cycling injuries or problems include:

• Low back pain
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Hip pain
• Quadriceps and hamstring strains
• IT band syndrome
• Sciatic nerve pain
• Knee pain
• Collarbone fractures
• Carpal tunnel syndrome and handlebar palsy
• Abrasions, lacerations, and bruises

How Hosmer Chiropractic can Help

Cycling injuries may be caused by numerous factors, including trauma, overuse, and faulty biomechanics. The parts of your body that contact your bicycle—hands, feet, groin—are among the most common locations for pain in cyclists, although problems can manifest in any joint or tissue that is exposed to excessive or repetitive forces. Chiropractic care is most well-known for its ability to treat joint pain associated with these injuries, but many chiropractors, including Dr. Hosmer and Dr. DeVasto, also use proven manual therapies to address your soft tissue injuries. Dr. Hosmer offers medical bike fitting services, as well, to help minimize or eliminate any unnecessary strain you may experience when riding your bicycle.

Schedule an appointment with Hosmer Chiropractic Health to help resolve your cycling injuries and enhance your performance on the bike.
