Running and walking
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms while running or walking?
I experience pain in my hips, knees, calves, etc., when running or walking, making it difficult to continue exercising.
I always experience pain in a certain area after running or walking for a certain period of time.
I want to complete a full marathon without worrying about the pain.
I received treatment at a hospital and a chiropractic clinic, but my condition did not improve.
I was told to refrain from exercise and rest, but there are no signs of improvement.
Please rest assured.
The underlying cause may be problems with the intensity and frequency of exercise, or with how you use your body.
In terms of how the body is used, some examples include an imbalance in the shift of weight between the left and right sides of the pelvis, and limitations in the range of motion on one side.
First, we will conduct a thorough consultation and check your condition, and then we will suggest the appropriate intensity and frequency of exercise for your body. While receiving treatment, we will also work on learning the correct way to use your body.
Please consult us if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms.
[Lower back pain, hip pain, knee pain, as well as iliotibial band syndrome, pes anserinus bursitis, meniscus tears, cruciate ligament injuries, shin splints, compartment syndrome, plantar fasciitis, etc.]
Characteristics of treatment for running and walking injuries at Karada Kenkyujo Acupuncture and Osteopathic Clinic
At our clinic, we accurately identify the problematic muscle by palpating various muscles, and then address it using acupuncture, manual therapy, and other techniques.
Furthermore, it's not enough to simply treat the painful area; understanding the root cause of the pain is crucial.
Orthopedic clinics and osteopathic clinics treat the area of pain, but often fail to adequately investigate the cause of the pain , which I believe leads to repeated recurrences.
We prioritize a comprehensive approach, from pain relief to preventing recurrence, in our treatments and exercise guidance.
You can consult with us with confidence, as your treatment will be performed by a professional who specializes in muscles and fascia and excels in trigger point therapy .

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Treatment for Running and Walking Injuries
I sometimes experience pain while running or walking. Is it okay to continue exercising like this?
To put it simply, the answer is NO.
Even if you only experience pain at the beginning of movement, but the pain gradually subsides, I don't think you're in good condition to exercise.
Habits in how you use your body and limitations in range of motion can lead to repeated impacts on specific areas during prolonged exercise, stressing muscles , tendons, ligaments, or even the bones themselves. This increases the likelihood of stiffening of the tissues around the joints, leading to injury or functional impairment.
It's not just about eliminating the pain, but also about investigating the root cause of that pain.
Eliminating the cause of the problem is essential to preventing it from happening again.
