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.”

Surgeons perform roughly 700,000 total knee replacements in the United States every year. Surgery is common, but it is not automatically the next step for most patients dealing with joint or tendon pain.

For many common causes of joint and tendon pain, non-surgical options are worth exploring first. At Hecker Sports Medicine, that includes PRP, shockwave therapy, and other advanced therapies designed to support the body's own repair process before surgery becomes the conversation.

These options are not reserved for elite athletes. They are for anyone managing an old injury or ongoing joint pain who wants to understand what else is available.

National Grandparents Day is a good reminder that staying active is not just about workouts or sports, it is about being able to get down on the floor and keep up with the people you love. A stiff hip or an achy knee has a way of quietly shrinking what you are willing to do, even when you would rather not admit it.

At Hecker Sports Medicine, we work with patients managing the everyday aches that come with getting older, without jumping straight to surgery or long-term medication. If something has been holding you back, a conversation is a good place to start.

Twenty-five years ago today, more than 2,000 people lost their lives in the September 11 attacks.

We remember them, along with the first responders who ran toward danger and the service members who answered the call in the years that followed. Their courage continues to shape what service looks like in our own community.

Sanexas Electric Cell Therapy is one of the non-surgical options at Hecker Sports Medicine designed to support nerve function. It uses electromagnetic neuromuscular stimulation to target the nerves involved in conditions like neuropathy and general nerve related pain, particularly for patients who have not found relief through medication alone.

It is not the right fit for every cause of nerve pain, but it is worth exploring if you have been managing ongoing numbness, tingling, or nerve discomfort without much progress.

Raking, hauling, moving furniture, one more hike before fall settles in, all of it adds up. Labor Day weekend has a way of turning into the last big push of yard work and home projects before the season shifts, and it is one of the more common weekends for us to hear about a sore lower back, a cranky knee, or a shoulder that is not quite right.

Most of these aches resolve on their own. Some do not, especially if there was already something going on underneath. If this weekend left you more sore than usual, or if it is a familiar ache that keeps coming back, it is worth getting checked rather than waiting it out again.

In one clinical survey of osteoarthritis patients, 69 percent reported their joint pain was sensitive to weather changes.

As temperatures drop, joints and tissue that are already compromised tend to become more sensitive to pressure and temperature shifts. Reduced circulation plays a role, and tissue that never fully healed the first time around often responds more to weather changes than healthy tissue does.

That stiffness is worth paying attention to. It is often a sign the underlying issue was never fully addressed, not just a seasonal inconvenience.

Piezoelectric shockwave therapy is one of the non-surgical options we use at Hecker Sports Medicine to support the body's own repair process in stubborn joint and tendon issues, rather than just managing symptoms until the next cold snap.

Office workers spend roughly two-thirds of the workday sitting, and low back pain shows up in a majority of them, with some studies putting the rate as high as 75 percent.

The shift from a summer of movement to a fall of desk time and longer commutes is one of the most common, and most overlooked, triggers for neck, low back, and hip stiffness we see at Hecker Sports Medicine. It is rarely one big event. It is hours of sitting, day after day, layered on top of an old injury or ache that never fully resolved.

That kind of stiffness responds well to attention early. A short evaluation can tell you whether you are dealing with simple deconditioning or something that needs a closer look.

Do not wait for it to become a bigger problem before you check in.

As summer wraps up and fall schedules begin, it's a smart time to check in on any injury or pain that hasn't fully resolved before the cold sets in.

Many musculoskeletal conditions don't improve simply with time. Instead, they linger for weeks or months, leading people to compensate, modify activity, or avoid movements that aggravate their symptoms.

Whether you're dealing with persistent knee pain, heel pain, shoulder discomfort, or an injury that never quite healed, an early evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate course of care before fall activities are in full swing.

A $70 Athletic Training Center (ATC) Evaluation is an accessible first step. You'll receive a comprehensive assessment, a better understanding of what's contributing to your symptoms, and recommendations tailored to your goals and activity level.

Don't carry an unresolved injury into another season. Getting the right evaluation now can help you make informed decisions about your recovery and long-term function.

The end of National Wellness Month is a great time to check in with yourself.

It's easy to put off that sore knee, stiff shoulder, or nagging foot pain when life gets busy. But those small issues rarely become more convenient once fall arrives with school, sports, work, and packed calendars.

At Hecker Sports Medicine, we believe the best care starts by looking at the whole person, not just the area that hurts.

Your movement, activity level, health history, and goals all play a role in finding the right path forward.

Rather than simply masking symptoms, our focus is on understanding what's contributing to your discomfort and helping you move with greater confidence.

As summer winds down, consider it an opportunity to take care of the aches and stiffness you've been meaning to address.

A little attention now may help you head into fall feeling stronger, more comfortable, and ready for whatever the season brings.

Recovery is an important part of training.

One of the recovery tools we use at Hecker Sports Medicine is Normatec compression therapy. It uses sequential air compression that moves through the legs (or arms) in a specific pattern to help support circulation and assist the body's natural recovery process after exercise or treatment.

Many athletes use Normatec during heavy training blocks, and it can also be beneficial for patients recovering from a therapy session or procedure as part of their overall rehabilitation plan.

Normatec can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive recovery strategy that includes the right exercise, rehabilitation, and other therapies recommended for your condition.

If you're curious about whether Normatec compression is appropriate for your recovery plan, ask about it during your next visit to Hecker Sports Medicine.
