Chiropractic approach to running injuries.
The chiropractic approach to the treatment of running injuries involves a thorough understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, motor patterns, and kinetic chains of the lower limb, including the pelvis. By identifying the underlying dysfunction, the chiropractor can implement a multilevel treatment protocol that involves manipulative therapy, restoration of faulty biomechanics, strengthening of weakened muscle groups, and motor pattern re-education.
