Hip Pain During Boston Marathon Training

Seeing as how the marathon is just next monday I thought today’s post should be about the most common problems I’m seeing in the office with runners. At this point, the longest run of their training is over, and they’ve been able to see how their bodies are going to hold up for the majority of the race. The most prevalent injury I’m seeing after this long run isn’t really an injury at all, it’s an annoyance for most people. It’s described as a “pinching” or “jamming” in the hip joint. Symptoms include slight pain in the front of the hip or side of the hip, restricted motion when bringing knees to the chest, or just a feeling of something not being right in the hip itself.

Migraine and Tension Headaches 

Why does my head hurt again? I didn’t do anything, I didn’t drink too much, I didn’t hurt myself, but my head is still killing me… why?

This is an extremely common complaint that many Boston Chiropractors hear in their offices. People dealing with constant headaches and not understanding why they won’t go away. Fortunately, there is always a cause of headaches and it’s not because “it’s just how I am” as many people think. There are skeletal, muscular, hormonal, nutritional and neurological causes to headaches and once we find out where the headache is coming from we can take steps to cure them.

I'm always getting asked about "other things" people can do to decrease their pain, when they can't make it into the office.  Luckily, in my former life I was a personal trainer so I've always got certain exercises or stretches that can help some of the time.  A few people need weight loss, some people need muscle strength, and others need a different way of thinking...Check out our blog to read more

If you turn your hand over, palm facing the ceiling, and look down at your elbow you'll see a bump on the inside that sticks out a bit.  That bump is called the medial epicondeyle of the elbow and on the opposite side of that bump is another smaller bump called the lateral epicondyle.  Both spots are attachment points of the forearm muscles.  The medial epicondyle is where the flexor muscles attach (the ones that flex your wrist in a "come here" motion)   READ MORE
