Why you should go to an Urgent care clinic in Los
Gatos for running injuries
Its summer in California - the perfect time
to go outside and enjoy summer sports and
exercise. But any sport activity, be it tennis,
golf, basketball, and others, has the potential
for injury. Running has become a popular form of
exercise of late. People train and race long
distances, which can be quite hard on even the
most athletic and fittest body.

• How to Recognize Running Injuries
• Even experienced runners and athletes tend to
  ignore their bodys warning signs and continue
  with training. What they dont realize is that
  when you continue to run with a painful injury,
  there are chances of injuring other parts of
  their body at the same time. For example, If you
  experience pain in your left foot, you might have
  injured your right knee and did not treat it
  properly.
• So pain is your bodys way of trying to bring
  something to your attention, and tell you
  something beneficial for your well-being.
• Running injuries can range from minor pains to
  serious fractures, which requires some time off
  from training.
• Most runners make the mistake of ignoring minor
  pains to avoid deviating from their training
  schedule. But these minor pains can compound and
  build into something more serious over time, such
  as shin splints or an over-training injury.

• How to Treat Running Injuries at Urgent Care
  Center in Los Gatos
• Whether you are a casual or competitive runner
  training for marathons and sports competitions,
  any pain that occurs while running should not be
  ignored.
• There are few running injuries which are severe
  enough to require treatment in the Emergency
  Room. But minor pains should not be ignored
  especially if you plan to continue with your
  training.

OUR KEY PHILOSOPHY

Take the time to listen. What I try and do with
every patient I see, in the first few minutes, is
just let them say whats on their mind and
theres a lot of study that show we dont do that
enough in medicine. These are small things that
you cant pick up really from just filling out a
form. Thats why its really important to spend
time, talking and listening and building that
relationship. Dr. Arun Villivalam, M.D.
