For the eighth consecutive year, Newton-Wellesley Hospital is offering a free post-marathon injury clinic, designed to assess and treat injuries resulting from participation in the Boston Marathon.

Athletes should consider coming to the clinic if they have any unusual pain, swelling or are suffering from blisters, cuts or abrasions that need medical attention.  Also, if an athlete feels ill or has excessive fatigue, they could have symptoms of dehydration and should be treated appropriately.

If your aches and pains persist for longer than usual and/or prevent your return to running, you may benefit from expert assessment.

Walk-ins are welcome.  To schedule an appointment, call CareFinder at 617-243-6383. 

Newton Wellesley Hospital's Carl Faust shares tips on dealing with running-specific problems.
