Is this treatment bad for runners?

I was speaking with a runner who had an over-training injury and she wanted a second opinion. And the reason she called was that she went to see a doctor and the doctor recommended a specific treatment for her. So she went home and she started doing some online research, and she started thinking that maybe this treatment might actually be bad for her as a runner. Everything in medicine is about risk versus benefit. We take every treatment that we offer to a patient that we recommend to someone who has an injury or an illness and we have to decide, is this treatment actually going to make the person better as a whole, or could potentially make them worse? Today on the Doc on the Run podcast, we're talking about whether or not this treatment is bad for runners.
