Dr. Lemnouni played four years of college soccer and surfs himself — he understands what active bodies need. Flagler Chiropractic is at 1240 S. Oceanshore Blvd., Flagler Beach, FL — call (386) 439-9001.
Why active people see chiropractors
Repetitive motion and impact add up. Paddling loads the shoulders and neck, pop-ups stress the low back, golf and pickleball rotate the spine hard in one direction, and running loads the feet, knees and hips. Keeping joints moving well helps muscles work efficiently.
Common issues we help with
- Surfer’s neck and shoulder strain from paddling
- Low back stiffness after sessions or rounds
- Shoulder, hip and knee pain
- Foot pain and gait issues — see orthotics
Tools for performance and recovery
Adjustments, stretching therapy, neuromuscular re-education, gait training, K-Laser for tissue recovery, kinesiology (muscle testing) and nutrition support.
Quick tips for Flagler surfers
- Warm up hips and thoracic spine on the sand before paddling out.
- Alternate your paddling breath and look direction to balance the neck.
- Hydrate — Florida sun drains you faster than you think.
Stay in the water longer — call (386) 439-9001.
