Lake Worth Beach is a go-to destination for locals who love the ocean and the active lifestyle that comes with it. Whether you’re catching waves at the Lake Worth Pier or paddling along the shoreline in the early morning calm, surfing and paddleboarding are two of the most rewarding ways to stay fit and connected with nature. But as fun and freeing as they are, these water sports place a big demand on your body—especially your spine.
The dynamic balance required to stay upright on a board, combined with constant core engagement and upper-body movement, can easily lead to strain if your body isn’t aligned properly. That’s where chiropractic care can make all the difference.
Dr. Javier Alvarez, a local chiropractor serving the Lake Worth community, explains:
Paddleboarding and surfing require your spine, hips, and shoulders to work in perfect sync. If your spine is out of alignment, it throws off your balance, increases fatigue, and puts more strain on your joints. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help you stay strong, responsive, and pain-free out on the water.
For surfers, the repetitive paddling motion and sudden pop-ups can cause tightness or irritation in the shoulders and low back. For paddleboarders, long sessions on the board often result in core fatigue and postural imbalances. Chiropractic care not only helps relieve those aches and pains but also enhances flexibility and coordination—key elements for performance and injury prevention.
So whether you’re chasing your next wave or gliding peacefully over flat water, don’t let stiffness or soreness keep you on the shore. A well-tuned spine might be the secret weapon your board has been missing.
Dr. Javier Alvarez is passionate about helping Lake Worth’s water sports community stay active, aligned, and ready for the next great ride.
