They’re a bane for all athletes – injuries! And cyclists are no exception, whether from a crash or repetitive strain over time. Some of the most common cycling injuries include:

• Knee pain – Conditions like cyclist’s knee, tendonitis, and iliotibial (IT) band syndrome.
• Neck and back pain – Caused by long hours in the saddle, poor posture, or an improper bike fit.
• Wrist and hand issues – Numbness or pain from pressure on nerves.
• Urogenital discomfort – Caused by prolonged pressure on the saddle.
• Foot numbness or tingling – Often due to tight shoes or poor circulation.

Inflammation: A Natural Part of Healing

When an injury happens, the body reacts with inflammation. We all know the feeling – swelling, pain and stiffness. It may be uncomfortable, but this is a natural part of the healing process. However, if left untreated, it can become chronic and lead to ongoing pain or weak spots.

So, what’s your go-to remedy? Many cyclists turn to anti-inflammatory meds for quick relief, but these can sometimes slow down healing by blocking the body’s natural recovery process.
