An evaluation at the new multidisciplinary UK Runners Clinic can result in an enhancement of speed and efficiency and prevent or treat many of the injuries commonly associated with running.
Our team of professionals has been assembled to provide expert examination and treatment whether you are a highly competitive and experienced runner or just starting out. A dedicated team of physicians,
scientists and physical therapists are involved in the initial evaluation and management of every patient and a wide variety of services are offered.

Services offered

how one’s injury may be influencing their

and a treatment plan for strengthening and/or
increasing muscle flexibility.

to come up with the best possible treatment
options. If further treatment is needed, follow-up
appointments will be scheduled as appropriate.

Approximately 50% of all recreational runners will sustain a running injury within a training year. Our goal is to provide management of these injuries and to facilitate healthy running. Here are some
commonly treated injuries:
- IT band syndrome
- Achilles tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Stress fractures
- Shin splints
- Muscle strains
- Hip pain
- Training program modifications

Please contact your insurance company prior to making your appointment to verify your coverage and referral requirements regarding the orthopaedic evaluation and physical therapy benefits. If you are planning
this visit for a computerized running/gait assessment alone, please be aware that this will incur a charge that will not be covered by your insurance carrier. The UK Healthcare Runner’s Clinic is held monthly at
the Kentucky Clinic Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Clinic located on the first floor. Forquestions or to make an appointment in the Runners
Clinic please call 859-218-3113.
