“Twenty or thirty years ago, I went to a couple of chiropractors”, says our patient, Joe. He was not impressed. “You have to find the right one.”
In 2010, after playing in a pickle ball tournament in Utah, Joe’s knee was swollen. He returned to Oceanside and went to a massage therapist who worked with Dr. Jacobs. Dr. Jacobs turned out to be the right chiropractor and Joe has been getting regular adjustments ever since. “Dr. Jacobs is not so rough and has good technique”, Joe explains. “I did not find that with other chiropractors.”
Joe has always been active and worked out in addition to pickle ball, but in 2013 he started running. “It took some time to get the muscles back that I hadn’t used much since I was 18!”, laughed Joe. Now, Joe runs 10-15k marathons 6x per year. He runs 2-3x per week in addition to yoga sessions. He says that his daily morning and evening stretches have upped his range of motion. “I get my day going with a morning routine of stretching.” Along with his almost weekly chiropractic adjustments, Joe also goes to The Stretch Lab to further improve his flexibility.
In his 10th running season, Joe has won 5 first places and 4 second places for his age group. He hopes to be eligible to compete in the Xterra World Championship. Take it from Joe, “I believe you can improve at any age.” Joe is 74.
