Calling all Chicago-Area Runners
I've been having a problem with my right quad which seems to be getting worse and is starting to seroiusly affect my training. I keep getting this lactic-acid-type burning in it (think what happens to your quads at the end of an 800M race -- it's the same sensation, only even more intense) while running at an aerobic effort. It is absolutely not an injury or a pull. I notice it more when my legs are fatigued (while doing recovery jogs during workouts, or the day after a workout). When I blogged about it a while back, someone suggested it might be because my hips are misaligned. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good chiropractor in the Chicago area (preferably one I won't have to wait a long time to get an appointment with). Thanks in advance.
In other news, I confirmed yesterday that I am depressingly out-of-shape. I ran a half-marathon. My plan was to pace my friend E. as kind of a dry-run for the marathon we're going to run together in a month. But she started feeling bad about half way through and told me to go ahead because she didn't want to feel as if she had to keep any particular pace. At that point, I should have picked it up, but I just didn't -- maybe because I was already used to a slower rhythm. And when I finished I seriously questioned whether I could have. Then, on the VERY easy 4-mile add-on run I did later in the afternoon with my friend A., my right quad kept burning so badly that I had to stop several times. Ditto on my easy run this morning. All very frustrating.

Hey--I'm a Chicago runner--and while I haven't needed to see a chiropractor in Chicago, the one that's been recommended to me by one of my running partners is this place(it's in the South Loop). She raves about it. They do chiropractic stuff and ART.

Before I saw the above comment I was going to recommend active release techniques (ART). Good luck!

Wow! Thanks for the fast response. I'm going to call the Active Body people tomorrow to get an appointment.

Lots of runner friends have gone to Dr Terry Nicola for help with running issues. He has always put them on a healing course. I'd give him a try before I went to a chiropractor. Good luck!!

i second the dr. terry nicola advice! he works out of UIC and he is a runner himself so he "gets it." b. had to see him last year and he was extremely helpful.
