Running Equipment, Running Shoes, Sports Medicine Physicians, Physiotherapists, Running Injury Videos & Transcripts

When it comes to running injuries, they are almost always from overuse. Running injuries can be acute or cumulative, meaning they happen over time.

HealthChoicesFirst has a wide selection of running injury videos and transcripts to help you, along with local health and wellness providers including physiotherapists and sports medicine physicians.

We also have numerous listings for local running equipment retailers. Common running injuries include shin splints, runners knee, patellofemoral pain syndrome, stress fractures, achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, and plantar fasciitis. To prevent running injuries, it's important to train and warm up properly, perform stretching exercises, and eat well for optimal performance.

Choosing Running Equipment (Running Shoes)

It's so important to choose properly fitting running shoes, or you may suffer from pain and running injuries. If you're looking for running shoes, you need to know your foot type and your gait type, and understand pronation. While it might be tempting to go for the latest style of name brand running shoe, it might not be right for your foot. You need to choose the right running shoe for you at your local specialty running store. The salesperson or pedorthist can help you find the best pair of running shoes for your foot type.

Treatment for Running Injuries

If you suffer a running injury, you may receive treatment from your family physician, a sports medicine physician, a physiotherapist, or all three. Physiotherapy can be extremely effective for running injuries, especially soft tissue injuries. If you suffer from a running injury, your physiotherapist can recommend a number of treatments, such as electromagnetic stimulation, hot or cold therapy, TENS machines, ultrasound, proprioception, and physical manipulation. If you've suffered a running injury, consult your local physiotherapist and sports medicine physician for advice on what type of running injury treatment is right for you.
