Area of Science:

Chiropractic medicine
Sports medicine
Biomechanics

Background:

Running injuries are common and multifactorial.
Effective treatment requires understanding the kinetic chain of the lower limb and pelvis.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the chiropractic approach to treating running injuries.
To detail the components of a multilevel treatment protocol.

Main Methods:

Assessment of anatomy, biomechanics, and motor patterns.
Identification of underlying dysfunctions.
Implementation of manipulative therapy.
Restoration of faulty biomechanics.
Strengthening of weakened muscle groups.
Motor pattern re-education.

Main Results:

A comprehensive chiropractic protocol can address running injury causes.
Multilevel treatment addresses biomechanical and neuromuscular factors.

Conclusions:

Chiropractic care offers a structured approach to managing running injuries.
Treatment focuses on identifying and correcting root causes for improved outcomes.
