Knee pain isn't always a knee problem. It might be:

- Hip weakness causing compensation
- Ankle instability affecting alignment
- Core strength issues

Your body is interconnected. Treating only the pain point often misses the root cause—and the pain returns.

At Hecker Sports Medicine™, we assess the entire system to find what's really causing your issue.

The Story on How the Body Truly Heals

10/23/2025

It's getting cold here in Fort Collins. Some of you might be feeling it in your bones and joints.

Why does this occur?

When the temperatures drop, our blood vessels constrict, blood flow is reduced, nerves become more sensitive, and muscles and joints stiffen. On top of that, cold thickens synovial fluid, which limits movement and increases discomfort when you move.

If you have an underlying condition, this can be extremely painful.

You might have been told surgery or prescription medications are your only options to deal with this pain.

Here at Hecker Sports Medicine, we operate with the mentality that your body can heal with that right pillars: stabilize, stimulate, strengthen, activity. There is hope--without surgery.

When you see an ad for low-cost surgery, it’s tempting to think you've found a great way to save money. But in the world of orthopedics and sports medicine, “cheap” often comes with a heavy price—slower recovery, higher complication rates, and even long-term disability. Don't fall for this trap.
