In today’s post, Dr. Hubert Lee at CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists in Bellevue, WA, is sharing his top 7 tips for relieving swollen summer feet.
With the warmer weather, many more people are heading outside to get in some exercise by running. It’s a great social distancing activity and we encourage our patients to run – but safely! So today Dr. Hubert Lee at CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists in Bellevue, WA is sharing information regarding running injuries and tips for preventing them.
Research shows that a large percentage of runners suffer injuries every year. This can be caused by not warming up or cooling down properly after a run, or it may be the result of wearing shoes that don’t fit properly.
Some common injuries can happen when running long distances without taking time out to rest, so it’s a good idea to keep a record of how far you run each day. When doing so, take note of signs of stress, which may include fatigue and irritability.
Many running injuries are the result of overtraining and overuse. When the back of the kneecap begins to wear out and the knee becomes painful, the condition is known as 'runner’s knee'. It results in diminished strength in the quadriceps and can occur if you’re not wearing properly supported or fitted shoes.
Some of the most common types of running injuries include iliotibial band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and stress fractures.
