Think about the most obvious causes of the injury and make adjustments. Worn shoes
are often the culprits. Check your shoes, inside and out, before you see a
specialist. Another factor often overlooked is the crown of the road. Your injury
may be caused by running on a surface that slants one way or another. For example, if
you run against traffic, your left foot will generally be lower than your right, due
to the road sloping toward the shoulder; this puts more pressure on your left knee.
Avoiding these obvious problems can often start you on the road to recovery
without medical treatment.
