Running is a passion for many, but it also comes with its share of challenges. Whether you’re battling plantar fasciitis, shin splints, or other common running injuries, research indicates that nearly 10–20% of runners face these issues at some point in their training. At Pinto, we understand that sustainable healing goes way beyond masking symptoms—it’s about addressing the root cause of your pain. That’s why we embrace a holistic and innovative approach, combining chiropractic and osteopathic medicine with cutting-edge therapies like Stemwave and Functional EmSculpt Neo Therapy to help runners get back on track.
Chiropractic and Osteopathic Medicine: Realigning for Recovery
Dr. Bob Pinto and and Emilie Pinto, DO focus on diagnosing and correcting structural imbalances that can lead to running injuries. For example, misalignments in the spine and pelvis can contribute to uneven weight distribution, increasing stress on the feet and legs. By restoring proper alignment through precise adjustments, we reduce inflammation and muscle tension—allowing your body to heal naturally. Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics has shown that chiropractic care can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility, enabling runners to resume training with renewed balance and confidence.
Stemwave Therapy: Targeted Pain Relief and Tissue Repair
Stemwave Therapy offers a non-invasive solution for managing pain and accelerating tissue repair in areas affected by repetitive stress. By applying targeted electrical impulses, Stemwave therapy stimulates nerve and muscle activity, promoting natural healing processes. Clinical studies have demonstrated that such therapies can reduce inflammation and alleviate chronic pain, particularly in conditions like plantar fasciitis and shin splints. This targeted approach not only eases discomfort but also supports a faster recovery, allowing you to maintain an active lifestyle.
Functional EmSculpt Neo Therapy: Enhancing Muscle Strength and Recovery
While often celebrated for its body contouring capabilities, Functional EmSculpt Neo Therapy plays a critical role in strengthening muscles and improving overall functional performance—an essential factor for runners. EmSculpt Neo uses a combination of radiofrequency heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM®) energy to induce super-maximal muscle contractions. Studies indicate that after a typical treatment course, patients experience an average increase in muscle mass by 25% and a reduction in subcutaneous fat by 30%. For runners, this means not only enhanced muscle tone but also improved core stability and reduced injury risk due to stronger, more balanced musculature.
