The Running Institute

About The Running Institute

The Running Institute, located near Chicago's Millennium Park, is an all-inclusive sports medicine practice founded by Dr. Michael J. Chin, a board-certified sports-medicine podiatrist, alongside Dr. Balu Natarajan, who is double-boarded in internal and sports medicine. The team develops individualized treatment plans that account for the athlete's mindset, aiming to return patients to their sport safely while reducing the risk of repeat injury. Services include podiatric sports medicine and surgery, custom orthotics tailored to specific sports and lifestyles, restorative biologic injection therapy, and extracorporeal pulse activation treatment for tendon and ligament injuries, sore muscles, and degenerative joint conditions. In-house weight-bearing 3-D CT scanning, digital X-ray, and ultrasound allow for detailed imaging without a referral to another facility. Swift therapy is also offered to treat the virus responsible for plantar warts. Telemedicine visits are available on a case-by-case basis for patients unable to come into the office.
