Dr. Runco’s unique approach to his patients consists of a detailed physical exam, which includes a complete orthopedic, neurological and musculoskeletal assessment for each new issue that may arise.  Based on findings from this examination, years of accurate diagnosis experience, in-depth knowledge of anatomy/biomechanics, he can quickly pinpoint the correct source of your pain, and offer options to remedy your condition. When applicable, Dr. Runco teaches corrective exercises to help stabilize your condition, which can include making changes to your current exercise program.

Many times patients have been to numerous doctors previously for this same condition, and have "tried everything" but the problems persist.  Others have taken prescription drugs, followed advice from doctors, pt's, friends, coaches, and well-meaning loved ones to eliminate symptoms, but yet the cause of the symptoms remain, and/or return.  Due to Dr. Runco’s highly skilled understanding of anatomy, physiology and exercise science he is able to help where other practitioners have been unsuccessful.

If you are ready to get back to training or pain-free exercise, want an accurate diagnosis once and for all, want to eliminate the need for further doctor visits down the road, call today to schedule your New Patient appointment. You'll be happy you made this one last effort, and your body will thank you!
