Every runner deals with aches and pains. What you might not have considered is that your body mechanics, the way that your body moves in space and hits the ground when you run, are having a tremendous impact on your performance and your potential for injury over time. Check out how the following runners crossed the finish line of recovery.

Xochitl New York, NY

"In June 2013, I was in an exercise class when I had a sudden pain in my left hip. At first, I thought I had pulled a muscle in my groin. After I realized I had a more serious problem, I looked up the best hip doctors in New York City and found Dr. Buly (and HSS). Dr. Buly immediately diagnosed me with torn labrums and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in both hips. At first, I thought I might never run again. I was wrong. "

As a cyclist I thought you would appreciate this, and as you being my Orthopedic Surgeon I can't tell you how much this old guy appreciates you! "

"I am telling this story after seeing and experiencing the incredible work that Dr. Rozbruch has done to better peoples lives when conventional medical advice is to say: stop running or there is nothing we can do or have more needless knee surgery. I hope that others with limb discrepancies and other similar issues can be healed by Dr. Rozbruch's fine work."

"After having one of the best rated surgeons on Long Island perform my knee surgery, I went two years with further pain, especially on walking up & downstairs. Dr. Geoffrey Westrich immediately diagnosed my problem and set me up to do a revision of my knee due to the fact that the original surgery omitted the resurfacing of the patella. "
