Beating Running Injuries in AL
When you go out for a run, it’s just you and the terrain. Every yard is a personal challenge and a personal triumph, all adding up to one incredible feeling at the end. But if pain starts to break your focus, you shouldn’t just shrug it off as “normal.” A little ouch can quickly become a big problem, especially in endurance runners.
Running injuries generally occur in the lower extremities, though it isn’t unusual to experience back pain as well. This is because of the way that running transfers energy throughout the whole body. The feet, ankles, knees, hips and even the long bones of the legs all act as an interconnected system of energy transfer points and shock absorbers. At Andrews Sports Medicine, you’ll work one-on-one with leading sports medicine doctors who understand the complexities of running mechanics.
