Common Running Injuries

Running is one of the most convenient forms of exercise as it only requires a quality pair of shoes. Then, you are free to run whenever and wherever you like. If you are experiencing pain, you may be suffering from one of the following running injuries:

• Runner's knee - pain in your knee that may be the result of decreasing cartilage or an out of aligned kneecap.
• Shin splints - pain along the front of your lower leg from overuse, improper stretching or poor footwear.
• Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis - pain throughout your heels and the bottoms of your feet which may be caused by too long of a run, tight calves or repetitive motions.
• Stress fractures - pain in your feet, ankles or lower legs may be caused by small fractures in the bones from overuse or repetitive movement.
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome - pain from your hips to knees caused by tight muscles or joints that are not in alignment.
• Muscle strains - small tears or pulls in your leg muscles causing pain in the local area.
• Joint sprains - your ankles are susceptible to sprains if your foot rolls or twists.
