What happens at the first visit?

Dr. Hecker evaluates the injury with a physical exam and, when needed, imaging such as X-ray, CT, diagnostic ultrasound or MRI to see how significant the damage is.

Will I have to stop being active during treatment?

The goal is the opposite. The injured structure is temporarily stabilized with orthotics, a bracing device or a cam walker boot so you can stay moving while it heals.

Which therapies are used?

TECAR radio frequency, piezoelectric shockwave, optical therapeutic laser, Sanexas electric cell therapy, Vissman acoustical vibration therapy and BioBox.

Do advanced therapies help after surgery?

Yes. They are also used for post-surgical restoration, to help you get back on your feet.

“Can a damaged joint, tendon or ligament heal without surgery?”

Often, yes. Advanced therapies are a non-surgical approach to repairing and restoring damaged joints, tendons and ligaments. I examine and image the injury, stabilize it with an orthotic, brace or boot so you can keep moving, then use therapies like TECAR, shockwave and laser to help the tissue heal.
