Does anyone know a local doctor who deals with running-related injuries? I've been having some knee pain that I'd like to have a doctor look at. Pretty sure its an overuse injury. I'm calling it "Runners Knee" right now because my symptoms match with what some others have had. Pain going up and down steps a day after either a long run or a high mileage week. I'd like to go see a good doctor that has dealt with running injuries so I can find out how to deal with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

I would recommend Bucky or Chris Whiteman at Progressive Physical Therapy. They have dealt with many of the local runners with good success. You may need a referral.

Having had Runner's Knee, as well as almost every other injury you can think of...what worked for me was quadriceps strengthening. This helped my patella track better. Leg extensions worked best for me...did a couple sets of full extensions, then bumped the weights up high and did quarter-to-half extensions. Still would be good to see someone though to get the correct diagnosis and professional advice
