Common Running Injuries We See at Arthrology Chiropractic

Running is high-impact and repetitive, making certain injuries especially common. At our Winston Salem chiropractic clinic, we frequently treat:
These issues often stem from muscle imbalances, improper gait mechanics, lack of mobility, or overtraining. Chiropractic care is well-equipped to address these factors.

Tips for Runners to Avoid Injury

  1. Don't skip your warm-up and cool-down: Prepare the tissues and support recovery.
  2. Build mileage gradually: The 10% rule is a good place to start.
  3. Work on hip and ankle mobility: These are key joints for stride efficiency and shock absorption.
  4. Incorporate strength training: A strong posterior chain supports better form and resilience.
  5. Listen to early warning signs: Mild discomfort is your cue to address the issue, so do not ignore it.

Why Your Running Injury Keeps Returning

Most runners try:

  • Rest
  • Ice
  • Pain relievers

…but the injury returns because the movement patterns are not corrected.

Running is repetitive, and if your alignment, cadence, or mobility is off, the same faulty pattern repeats every stride. That is where targeted chiropractic care makes the difference:

  • We assess how you run, not just where it hurts.
  • We fix mobility restrictions that lead to compensations.
  • We build strength & movement balance around your unique running style.

This approach helps you keep running pain-free and perform better.
