Our goal is to get you running pain free as fast as possible. We are highly specialized in running injuries and gait analysis. In order to properly diagnose what is causing running pain, we watch you run and break down every aspect of your gait cycle. This is much different than simply having a foot scan, and helps get to the cause of the pain and not just simply treating the location of the pain. If the running pain is of a biomechanical nature, we implement Active Release Technique, Kinesiotaping, rehab exercises and spinal manipulation as methods of highly effective treatment and monitor your progress as you run.

Back Pain Center is fully certified in kinesiotaping for pain management and rehabilitation. Kinesiotaping is a highly effective method of treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, stabilization and it used heavily in running and triathlete communities.

At Back Pain Center, we understand the mechanism of how these injuries occur, and how to most effectively treat these cases in order to assure that your neck and back pain is managed as quickly and effectively as possible.

The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a series of 7 full-body movement tests designed to assess fundamental patterns of movement such as bending and squatting in those with known musculoskeletal pain. By performing this, clinician has the opportunity to identify meaningful impairments that may be seemingly unrelated to the main musculoskeletal complaint, but contribute to the associated disability.
