How the Gonstead Method Prepares You for Keller's 5K Races (Run in the Dark)

Our fall season brings excitement, and few events capture it quite like the Community Storehouse Run in the Dark. Scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025, at Keller Town Hall, this nighttime 5K and 1-mile fun run is more than a race; it’s a celebration. Expect glowing gear, food trucks, a live DJ, bounce houses, and a bustling Fall Market that make it a family favorite.

Benefits of Gonstead Chiropractic Care for Runners

Training for a 5K pushes the body. Long runs, back-to-back workouts, and hours on your feet can lead to soreness, tight hips, or stress on your knees and shins. The Gonstead Method offers a unique solution by zeroing in on spinal misalignments with remarkable accuracy. Through detailed analysis, including X-rays and hands-on assessments, chiropractors make adjustments that allow the body to move more freely, recover faster, and avoid common race-related setbacks.

A Chiropractor’s Perspective on Prepping for the Run

This tailored approach can keep you moving with ease, whether you’re sprinting the 5K or pacing alongside kids in the fun run.

Recovery Beyond the Finish Line

The benefits of chiropractic care extend into recovery. Many runners notice improved sleep, reduced soreness, and a quicker recovery after Gonstead adjustments. Combining chiropractic care with simple strategies—hydration, stretching, and a warm-up—makes your run both smoother and more enjoyable.

For added recovery, infrared therapy is another option that encourages circulation and helps muscles relax after long training sessions. Combined with chiropractic care, it’s a powerful way to keep your body in balance before and after the race.
