I am writing to let you know how satisfied I am with my "pain free" running and the spinal pelvic stabilizers that you recommended for my shoes. My back and hips have been a problem for years which would restrict the amount of walking and running I could do. I initially was concerned about the expense involved but the end result of no more pain when I walk and run would have made any cost worth while and the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I want to say thank you for the recommendation on a better choice in a running shoe. I always thought the different styles were more of a sales gimmick than than a necessity. After you showed me the type of foot structure I had, and why I needed a motion control style shoe, I have noticed I can run or "clog along" as my wife says, with less tension in my legs and feet. I might even try a 5K race this summer.
Thank you for your recommendations and care I received for my iliotibial band. The stretches and soft tissue work you provided helped and allowed me to return to my running. The video analysis of my running form pointed out some errors that contributed to not just my iliotibial band problem, but also helped me focus on better posture not just while running, but throughout the day to help reduce muscle soreness and stress. I look forward to returning not just to my running, but also a return to body building.

I have read many articles over the years about running form in magazines and researches it on the internet, but after Dr. Lee videoed my gait cycle and pointed out some areas of concern that could create possible pain syndromes, I knew I was in the right place. I did not tell him all of the different problems I was having, and what he pointed out could happen were already happening. He recommended some drills to improve my form and provided some chiropractic treatments and rehabilitation and has me back running pain free again.

I first came to Dr. Lee as a referral through my cross country coach. I was having terrible pain in my lower quadriceps which would become so intense when I ran that I was forced to stop running due to the pain. After we reviewed my video of how I was running and Dr. Lee's examination findings, he determined that I had a hamstring problem that was not allowing my leg to go into full extension which was keeping constant tension on my quadriceps. After he showed me some stretches and he worked on my spine and leg muscles, I was able to return to my running.

As a physician myself, I have consulted with Dr. Lee on numerous patients who are runners and walkers. His use of video for gait analysis helps isolate both structural dysfunction and weakness within the musculo-skeletal system.
