Understanding Running Injuries
Common Causes of Running Injuries
Most running injuries come from doing too much, too soon, with too little recovery. Stiff hips, weak glutes, tight calves, worn shoes and changes in surface or distance all add to the load.
Common problems include runner’s knee, iliotibial band pain, shin pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain and lower back pain. Chiropractic care combines joint treatment, soft tissue work and a gradual loading plan.
Clear, personalised care for running injuries
Every running consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of how you move, train and recover, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Running Injuries?
I take a detailed history of your training, shoes and previous injuries and examine how you move. Treatment may include joint mobilisation or adjustment, soft tissue work, strengthening exercises and advice on technique, cadence and recovery.
The aim is not just to settle pain but to find the reason it started, so you can keep running with fewer setbacks. If you need further investigation or a sports medicine opinion, I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Running Injuries Symptoms
Knee, Hip, Shin and Back Pain From Running
Warning signs include pain that starts at the same point in a run, stiffness that lingers the next day, swelling, or pain that wakes you at night. Ignoring them often turns a niggle into a longer lay-off.
Cutting back mileage rather than stopping completely, adding strength work and varying surfaces can help while you are being assessed. If you cannot bear weight or have sharp, focal bone pain, seek medical advice. See also plantar fasciitis.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Running Injuries
Can a chiropractor help runners?
Yes. Chiropractic care can help with joint stiffness, muscle tightness and movement problems that contribute to running pain.
Should I stop running when I am injured?
Often you can reduce rather than stop. I will advise based on the injury and what is safe for you.
Do I need new shoes?
Worn shoes can contribute to injury. I will talk about footwear as part of your assessment.
Can you help me train for a race?
I can treat injuries and advise on load and strength work, but I do not replace a running coach.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek help if you cannot bear weight, have sharp pain on a single spot of a bone, or have a hot, swollen calf.
