Imaging

Once we understand the source of the problem and define the injury. we'll take X-rays, CT scans, diagnostic ultrasounds or MRIs to determine the significance of the injury and have a clear view of how it's structured.

Stabilization

To keep you from overusing or continue injuring the affected area, we will stabilize the structure temporarily, using orthotics, bracing devices, or cam walker boots to provide with adequate support and improve your healing.

Non-Surgical Orthopedic Treatments

Our regenerative medicine treatments are composed of many different solutions that, in some cases, are combined for a better recovery. Some of the services we offer can only be found in professional athletics, such as the National Football League.

We want to make sure that no matter your background, whether you do sports for fun, are in a recreational league, or are a professional athlete, you can count on our treatments to help you with your foot and ankle injuries and get you back to doing what you love as soon as possible!

Piezo Acoustic Compression Therapy

A sound approach to treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. The acoustic wave generated by the PiezoWave converge at a point deep within the soft tissue to produce an intense, extremely short duration compression burst. The focused acoustic compression force I translated to the surrounding tissue like an extremely precise deep tissue massage.

The PeizoWave treats pain resulting from:

  • Myofascial dysfunction (Chronic pain disorders)
  • Tendinopathy
  • Trigger Points
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Enthesopathy (problems with the attachment of tendons, ligaments or components of joints)
  • Achilles tendon pathology

Low Light Laser Therapy/LLT:

Light therapy is a medical treatment that uses light to stimulate a process called photo biomodulation. This interaction triggers biological cascade of events that leads to an increase in cellular metabolism, decrease in pain, reduction in muscle spasm, and improved microcirculation to injured tissue.

Low Light Laser treats:

  • Joint swelling
  • Muscle strain/pain
  • Tendinopathy
  • OA related pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendon pathology
  • DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness)
  • Optimizing muscle performance (ergogenic aid)

Vissman

Vissman uses fast-moving air cones to produce an Acoustical Wave Vibration. This vibration is transferred to the skin by a self-standing transducer, passing through the surface layers and fat tissue. This stimulates the mechanical receptors known as “high threshold activation”. Using this stimulation we convert muscle fibers to fast twitch muscle fibers rapidly increasing strength and restoring function.

Vissman treats:

  • Chronically tight musculature associated with orthopedic injuries
  • Chronically tight musculature associated with the demands of physical activity
  • Chronic lymphedema
  • Acute edema associated with injuries

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) /Cupping/Manual Therapy

IASTM is a technique that is completed with specially designated instruments to assist with myofascial restriction. While the main use of this technique is for myofascial release there are many alternative uses including nerve glides, up-regulation of a muscle, down-regulation of a muscle and much more. The treatment will be specific to what the individual patient needs. Cupping is a form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin with the application of cups. This technique helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation as a type of deep tissue massage. Manual therapy is used to unlock your movement potential. During these sessions, the athletic trainer will target specific areas with hands on approaches to help with overall movement. This will be customized to each patients needs and goals.

Athlete Training Therapy

It takes a particular set of skills to be able to provide the right care and therapy to an athlete. Unlike people who do sports for fun, athletes are often testing their limits, pushing themselves further every day, and testing their bodies to reach new goals. While injuries can affect athletes and people who do sports for fun, athletes tend to have bigger problems due to the constant push.

Dr. Hecker understands the importance of staying healthy for any athlete — for many it’s their livelihood and future. That’s why we have created a service that can offer the right therapy for athletes to not only treat current injuries but also prevent future problems. Here are some of the services we can help you with:

  • Recovery Sessions
  • Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
  • Manual Therapy
  • Corrective Exercise or Rehabilitation
  • New Injury Evaluation

Foot & Ankle Regenerative Medicine In Fort Collins

Regenerative Medicine Treatments

Ankle and foot injuries are more common than we want them to be. Your feet and ankles are constantly being impacted when you walk, run, go up and downstairs, and do many other physical activities — even standing still for long periods of time can bring extra stress to those joints.

There are many conditions that can feel like a minor problem, but they can easily be the precursor to a major problem down the road. At Hecker Sports and Regenerative Medicine™, we have been providing foot and ankle relief for our patients for more than two decades. Our practice has been able to help thousands of athletes and non-athletes alike with their feet and ankle injuries, and we want to help you!

We offer a wide variety of services that have proven time and again that you don’t need to go through surgery to take care of most of your pain or injuries. However, while some complications or injuries require surgical intervention, we at Hecker Sports and Regenerative Medicine™ strive to provide the right treatments to avoid those surgeries and let the body heal the way it’s intended by promoting its natural ability to heal.

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

The human body has a natural ability to heal itself. This goes for most diseases, many types of injuries, and other problems that you may experience throughout your life. As an example, if we cut ourselves, the body sends the right signal to the area and provides the right nutrients for that area to start the healing process. The cut starts closing to avoid further blood loss and possible infections while allowing for the external and internal tissue to regenerate back to its usual state.

At Hecker Sports and Regenerative Medicine™, we specialize in working with ankle and foot injuries; however, regenerative medicine practices have been widely used in most areas of the body to help promote the body’s natural ability to heal.

While this process can be used for post-surgery and post-injury to help the body repair itself, Dr. Hecker’s practice focuses on healing injuries without the need for surgery or providing the right treatments to strengthen joints to prevent the injuries altogether.

How Does Regenerative Medicine Work?

Our cells can be considered the building blocks that, when put together the right way, form our body. When an injury occurs, these building blocks are affected and may take some time to go back to the place where they were.

Regenerative medicine, at the bottom line, is a process that accelerates the repair process and provides the right conditions for those cells to find their way back to where they are supposed to be. The stimulation that regenerative medicine provides could be seen as a guide for the body to focus directly on the affected area.

This guidance, coupled with other products that Dr. Hecker uses in his practice, ultimately becomes the perfect combination of processes to allow the body to regenerate and repair itself the way it’s intended.

The Regenerative Protocol

At Hecker Sports and Regenerative Medicine™, we follow a protocol to assess and help you with your ankle and foot injuries. These steps are taken to make the healing process efficient and for you to receive treatment in the least amount of time possible so you can keep enjoying your life!
