Abstract

Injuries to the hip and pelvis among runners can be among the most challenging to treat. Advances in the understanding of running biomechanics as it pertains to the lumbopelvic and hip regions have improved the management of these conditions. Conservative management with an emphasis on activity modification and neuromuscular exercises should comprise the initial plan of care, with injection therapies used in a supportive manner.
