Recover faster with non-invasive injury treatments for runners in Los Angeles.
For runners, injuries can be a frustrating thing to experience. There are a number of injuries and conditions that may result from the wear and tear associated with running. Common injuries include but are not limited to: runner’s knee; shin splints; muscle sprains and strains; plantar fasciitis; and achilles tendinopathy.
If you’re dealing with a running injury that is preventing you from performing your best, Dr. Sheps, D.C. offers expert treatment for running injuries at his practice in Brentwood, Los Angeles, using manual and noninvasive therapies to treat a variety of injuries – from knee pain to plantar fasciitis.
A running injury is a joint or muscle injury that develops during or as a result of running. Common examples include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, runner’s knee, and shin splints.
These injuries are often caused by overuse, poor running mechanics, or both—and if not properly treated, they can worsen and limit your ability to stay active or continue training.
Every body is different, so injuries and conditions can affect people in unique ways. After an initial evaluation, Dr. Sheps will recommend a personalized plan to treat running injuries for his Los Angeles patients. As a certified McKenzie practitioner, he also provides at-home care techniques to support your recovery.
Depending on your needs, Dr. Sheps, D.C. may recommend one or more methods to treat a running injury.

“Dr. Sheps has helped me tremendously with multiple running injuries. He is my go to whenever I have a problem!”
– Hannah A.
“Dr. Sheps is the absolute best in the business. As a Division I athlete, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Any unresolved issue I’ve had, especially recurring hamstring problems, he’s been able to fix in just one or two sessions and get me back on the track within days. Without him, some of these injuries could have easily turned into months-long setbacks. He truly understands athletes and how the body works at a high level, and I’m incredibly grateful to have met him.”

“
Dr. Sheps, the best!! I’ve known him for 12 to 13 years. He started by treating my daughter to keep her healthy so she could finish her high school track seasons. She was able to medal in the California State Championships 3 years in a roll with his help, and earn a scholarship to run on the college level. That got her to the NCAA championships.”
