Summary

For this episode in my Wellness One series, I sat down with Dr. Kurt Juergens, a chiropractor who’s spent 36 years treating runners and athletes. He’s worked on the USATF Olympic Trials sports medicine team (1992) and with the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Tennis Championships—and he’s run seven marathons himself. I came in with basic (and very real) questions: What exactly is happening when something “cracks”? Is it okay that I pop my kids’ backs? How does chiropractic help runners beyond the satisfying pop? We got into feet-as-foundation, why balance and hamstring flexibility matter more than you think, how kinesiology tape actually works, and when custom orthotics (that support all three arches) can change the chain reaction up your ankles, knees, hips, and back. If you’re curious about chiropractic but haven’t tried it (hi, it’s me), this one breaks it down without the overwhelm.

Topics we cover

Feet as the foundation: pronation, arches, orthotics
Balance and hamstring flexibility for runners
