Hecker Sports and Regenerative Medicine’s focus is on non-surgical options that help to make you like new – not just better. With an educational and personal approach, Dr. Hecker and his team provide sports and regenerative medicine in Fort Collins for people of all ages, ability, and incomes. His philosophy is to make you like new, not just better, and in an affordable way.

“That’s the purpose of why I started the practice here: is to make regenerative medicine treatments and podiatric services affordable so people can choose it and receive the benefit. These types of treatments shouldn't be so expensive that it’s only touchable to a select few. I provide very high-end care for very reasonable costs with high success.”

Foot and Ankle Clinic Fort Collins

Your feet are truly the foundation of your body. When you are having problems and pain with your ankles and feet, it can affect every aspect of your life keeping you from being the best you. If you are suffering from a chronic foot problem or your feet just simply “hurt”, you need more than just temporary comfort. Dr. Tom Hecker (podiatrist, Fort Collins, Colorado) established his foot and ankle clinic to provide both alternative and new therapies, including traditional treatments. Affordable treatment that will provide both care-free and long term comfort is what you deserve.

“The heart of what I want to achieve is getting people back to their lifestyles, getting them back to the things that they want to do, helping their families,” Dr. Hecker said. “I don’t want to inconvenience them, and I want it to be affordable.”

Sprains, strains, stress fractures, and tendinopathies are among the most commonly seen injuries in athletes and active individuals.

Many of these conditions respond well to non-surgical treatment when addressed early.

Knowing when to stop managing pain on your own and when to get a proper evaluation is critical.

If you are experiencing persistent swelling, limited range of motion, or pain that is not improving with rest, that's your signal.

A sports medicine evaluation can identify the root cause and clarify your options before a manageable issue becomes a more complex one.

Most people have never heard of medical foods, and that's exactly the problem.

Medical foods are a distinct category of clinically formulated nutrition products designed to meet the specific metabolic needs of patients managing certain medical conditions.

They are not dietary supplements, and they are not over-the-counter health products.

Medical foods are intended for use under physician supervision as part of a structured treatment plan.

At Hecker Sports Medicine, we incorporate medical foods into comprehensive non-surgical care when clinically appropriate. If you are curious whether medical nutrition therapy could support your treatment, we welcome the conversation.

Every March and April, we see a spike in shoulder injuries from people who go from zero yard work all winter to raking, mulching, and heavy lifting sessions.

THE USUAL SUSPECTS:
🔸 Rotator cuff strain (from repetitive overhead reaching)
🔸 Shoulder impingement (from raking and shoveling)
🔸 Tendinopathy (from lifting bags of mulch/soil)
🔸 Old injuries flaring back up under new demand

IT STARTS AS:
"Just a little sore after yard work"

IT BECOMES:
Pain reaching overhead, trouble sleeping on that side, difficulty with daily activities, months of chronic discomfort.

WHAT TO DO DIFFERENTLY:
→ Warm up before yard work (yes, really)
→ Break big projects into multiple days
→ Alternate arms and take breaks
→ If pain lasts more than 2 days post-activity, get it checked

HOW WE TREAT IT:
We use therapeutic laser, TECAR, and targeted shockwave therapy to treat the inflamed tissue and address underlying weakness or biomechanical issues. Most patients avoid months of chronic pain and return to full function in 4-8 weeks.

Don't let shoulder pain turn into a summer-long problem.

We know that sounds backwards.

For decades, injury treatment has meant: stop moving, wait for pain to go away, slowly start again, hope it holds up.

But research (and our results) tell a different story.

TRADITIONAL REST CAUSES:
→ Muscle atrophy (you lose strength fast)
→ Stiffness and reduced range of motion
→ Longer recovery times
→ Higher risk of re-injury
→ Mental frustration from being sidelined

ACTIVE RECOVERY DELIVERS:
✓ Continued movement with intelligent modifications
✓ Advanced technology that accelerates healing WHILE you stay active
✓ Maintained strength and fitness
✓ Faster return to full activity
✓ Lower re-injury rates
✓ Better mental health (because you're not stuck on the couch)

Here's the key: we use TECAR, therapeutic laser, shockwave, and more to create an environment where your tissue can heal even as you continue modified training.

If your first steps in the morning feel like walking on glass, you're not alone.

Plantar fasciitis LOVES spring because:
→ People go from couch to trails too quickly
→ Winter compensation patterns finally catch up
→ Old shoes + new mileage = inflamed tissue

WHAT IS IT?
Inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot. Causes stabbing pain, especially with those first morning steps or after sitting.

WHY IT WON'?T GO AWAY ON ITS OWN:
That tissue isn't getting adequate blood flow to heal naturally. Rest might reduce pain temporarily, but it comes roaring back the moment you increase activity.

HOW WE TREAT IT:
✓ Shockwave therapy to break up scar tissue and stimulate healing
✓ TECAR to boost circulation where it's needed most
✓ Biomechanical assessment to fix the WHY
✓ Active recovery so you keep moving while healing

Most patients see significant improvement in 4-6 weeks. No cortisone shots. No boot. No months of limping around.

Don't let heel pain ruin your spring. Let's fix it.

Let's have an honest conversation about morning stiffness.

We hear this all the time: "I just need to warm up in the morning, then I'm fine."

But how LONG does that warm-up take? Because there's a big difference between normal and NOT normal.

NORMAL STIFFNESS:
✓ Fades in 10-15 minutes
✓ Improves with gentle movement
✓ Occasional, usually after hard workouts
✓ Doesn't limit your activities once you're moving

NOT NORMAL STIFFNESS:
⚠️ Takes 30+ minutes to loosen up
⚠️ Happens every single morning
⚠️ Requires significant effort just to move normally
⚠️ Getting progressively worse over weeks/months
⚠️ Forces you to modify activities

If you're in the second category, your body isn't just getting older—it's telling you something needs attention.

Chronic morning stiffness signals inflammation, compensation patterns, or underlying dysfunction. And here's the important part: it won't fix itself.
The good news? We specialize in finding WHY you're stiff and treating the actual cause with advanced therapies like TECAR, laser, and more.

Don't accept stiffness as your new normal.

March means race training is ramping up. And you know what else ramps up?

Runner's knee. 🏃‍♀️

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee) is the #1 injury we see when people increase mileage too quickly. But here's the thing: it's almost always preventable.

WHY IT HAPPENS:
→ Sudden increase in distance or intensity
→ Weak hip stabilizers forcing the knee to compensate
→ Old biomechanical issues finally catching up
→ Inadequate recovery between runs

WARNING SIGNS:
⚠️ Pain around or behind the kneecap during/after running
⚠️ Worse with hills or stairs
⚠️ Stiffness after sitting for long periods
⚠️ Clicking or grinding sensation

WHAT TO DO:
Don't ignore it and don't just rest. Runner's knee needs targeted treatment to address the ROOT CAUSE — usually hip weakness, IT band tightness, or tracking issues.

We use therapeutic laser, TECAR therapy, and biomechanical assessment to fix the problem, not just mask it. And our active recovery approach means you keep training (smartly) while you heal.

Already feeling it? Come in before it sidelines your season.

Spring is just around the corner, Colorado. ☀️ That means trail season, marathon training, and mountain adventures are calling.

But here's the truth: most spring injuries happen because we jump from winter mode to warrior mode too fast.

Before you ramp up your mileage or hit the trails hard, ask yourself:
❓ Does anything still ache from last season?
❓ Is morning stiffness lasting longer than 15 minutes?
❓ Are you favoring one side when you move?
❓ Did you "push through" an injury that never fully healed?

If you answered yes to any of these, your body is asking for attention. And addressing it NOW means you won't be sidelined in April when you should be outside.

At Hecker Sports Medicine, we specialize in keeping active people active without surgery, without months of downtime, and without guessing.
