The most important treatment for running injuries is rest, or changing
activities, to allow for healing. Other treatments include ice, special
devices such as splints or or thotics, and pain relievers such as
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.Physical therapy can also help
for more serious injuries. Surgery is rarely needed.
If you have pain while running that lasts for more than a few days
or is severe enough to make you stop running, see your doctor. Do
not try to push through the pain.
