If you are interested, this Saturday (10/18) I will be giving a lecture to the L.A. Roadrunners on common running injuries, and stretching. The lecture will start around 9:45AM and will last approximately 30 minutes.
The lecture will be located at an Elementary School just south of the corner of Main Street and Abbot Kinney in Venice. (you can't miss it). I will be at the Gym. Feel free to stop by and bring a friend if you like.
Dr. Eric

Stress-Fractures in Runners
L.A. Marathon training season is in full force now, and so are the injuries that happen as a result of training. Commonly I see sprained ankles, knee pain, hip pain and low back pain.
Last week, a 35 year old female came into my office complaining of left knee pain. She started training for the marathon a few weeks ago. Her orthopeadic examination was unremarkable, and my initial diagnosis was of tendonitis/bursitis of the knee. Her persistent pain, and lack of response to two sessions of myofascial release, chiropractic care and passive modalities led me to order radiographs of this patient's knee and tibia. Sure enough, the patient had a stress fracture of the tibia.
Knowing when to see a doctor is important. If you are training and you experience abnormal pains, always seek professional care. Stress fractures are usually seen when people drastically increase the level of training or change training surfaces.
Remember, pain is just the way your body tells you there is something wrong.
