Race season in Roanoke is in full swing. Whether you’re gearing up for the Blue Ridge Marathon, a fall 5K, or a local trail run, the weeks leading up to race day can make or break your performance.
Training isn’t just about logging miles — it’s about making sure your body is moving efficiently, recovering properly, and staying injury-free. That’s where Highland Spine and Sport comes in.

The goal is to keep every moving part working together — so you run stronger and more efficiently.
Runners often ignore small issues, thinking they’ll just “run through” them. But a mild Achilles twinge or tight hip flexor now could sideline you during race week.

Recovery is where your body gets stronger — and yet, it’s the most overlooked part of training. Chiropractic care, soft tissue work, and guided mobility drills can speed recovery and reduce soreness between runs, so you can hit your next training session ready to go.

Bottom Line:
If you’ve got a big race on the calendar, don’t leave your performance to chance. At Highland Spine and Sport, we help runners prepare, recover, and stay injury-free so they can crush race day and enjoy the run.
