To clarify
I may practice within the medical community but I am far from an expert when it comes to running. Everything I know about running I learned the hard way ie over training and making mistakes.

When I first joined this website I couldnt run 200m without stopping, now I can run over 12 miles and go take on the day but it came at a price.

I highly recommend a physical therapist over any other and Ive been to chiropracters, sports physiologist, and physical therapist. Nothing against chiro as my wife is a chiropracter as well as a couple brothers in law but they simply arent the experts in this very specific area.

When it comes to PT it might be a good idea to find the Docs who work on your local professional sports teams and see who they recommend.

Daniels Running Formula by Dr Jack Daniels (no joking), and Road Racing for Serious Runners by Dr Pete Pfitzinger (my favorite) should be required reading-
HTH
