When an individual is an avid runner, there are a variety of injuries that can occur throughout their training. They range from mildly annoying to something requiring physical therapy or even surgery. Most common running injuries are due to overuse, overtraining, improper shoes, or a biomechanical flaw in body structure and motion. Dr. Mark Forman is able to treat you if you get injured, however, he and the rest of our staff would rather you take precaution to prevent a running injury instead.
To ensure that you take proper care of your body, make sure that you stretch properly, wear appropriate footwear, and listen to your body when it’s telling you to rest. If you don’t stretch before a run, you could actually strain your muscles and it might even slow you down. If you wear the wrong shoe it can actually aggravate existing problems, causing pain in your feet, legs, knees, or hips. In addition, you should never push your body to the limit if it’s telling you to take it easy. If you follow these tips, you should be able to run without risking injury.
