Running Injury Rehab in San Juan Capistrano
A structured plan for runners dealing with pain, tendon injuries, and training setbacks.
Running injuries are rarely solved by one treatment alone.
At Resolve Chiropractic, we help runners understand what is contributing to their pain, modify training when needed, and build a plan to return to consistent running.
Your care may include hands-on treatment, progressive rehab exercises, running-specific strength work, training modification guidance, and shockwave therapy when clinically appropriate.
Whether you are dealing with plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, runner’s knee, shin splints, hip pain, calf pain, or a recurring training-related flare-up, our goal is to help you stop guessing and start moving forward with a plan.
Why Runners Need a Plan, Not Just a Quick Fix
Running pain is often a load tolerance problem
Many running injuries develop when the demands of training exceed what the body can currently tolerate. Sometimes that comes from increasing mileage too quickly. Other times it comes from changes in hills, speed work, shoes, strength, mobility, recovery, or training consistency.
That is why our approach looks beyond the painful area alone.
At Resolve Chiropractic, we look at the full picture:
What changed in your training
What your current mileage and workouts look like
What movements are painful or limited
How your foot, ankle, knee, hip, and spine are moving
How well your body is tolerating load
What you can safely continue doing
What needs to be modified temporarily
How to rebuild toward consistent running
The goal is not to tell every runner to stop running. The goal is to help you understand what your body can tolerate right now and create a plan to build from there.

Return to Running Program
6 Weeks | 7 visits | $895
The Return to Running Program is designed for runners who have had to stop, reduce mileage, or modify training because of pain.
This is not a one-off treatment or a generic visit package. It is a structured 6-week plan that combines assessment, treatment, rehab, training modification, and return-to-running guidance.
Week 1
Visit 1: Runner Injury Assessment + First Treatment
We review your injury history, training history, current symptoms, and running goals. Your assessment may include movement testing, strength testing, mobility assessment, single-leg control, and a screen of the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and spine.
Visit 2: Treatment + Rehab Setup + Training Modification Plan
Your second visit helps us refine the plan quickly. We begin building your rehab program, review what you should modify in your training, and establish the first phase of your return-to-running strategy.
