Question
I am a runner and I recently developed pain in my lower back, front of the hip, my buttock, and a sometimes shooting pain down the back of my leg/thigh. Would going to a chiropractor be beneficial in any way?

Answer
Hello Lisa,


  Yes, Chiropractic care would be very beneficial in your case.  I work on a lot of marathon runners with similar injuries.  Doctor's of Chiropractic specialize in the biomechanics of the body ie(Nervous system, spine or any joint, soft tissues muscles etc.).  Please write back if you have any more Questions.

Have a Great Day!!!
