"Have you tried everything to Heal Your Running Injuries,
but feel let down?"
Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed. That’s why we made this just for you.
A Message From Dr. Chrissy Davis, Owner & Founder of Precision Performance Sports Medicine
- Are you tired of being told to stop running because it’s “bad for you” when you bring your pain up to your physician?
- Are you worried about pain with running that doesn’t go away no matter how much foam rolling, corrective exercises or stretching you do?
- Are you frustrated that you take time off from running only to have it return when you start up again?
- Are you having trouble with consistency in your training and missing your running community?
- Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can get back to running without pain and worry?
- Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then when they return to running, the pain comes right back).
- Just stop running because “it’s bad for you”.
- It’s “normal” with age.
- If you take some anti-inflammatory meds everything will be fine.
- Slowing down is the only option.
The Truth Is...
- Resting doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you run again you’ll still be suffering from the pain and discomfort (I bet you’ve already experienced it!).
- The inflammation your physician is telling you is the cause of the pain is just a by-product of a movement or activity issue, which requires a movement solution!
- It’s not normal to have pain with running as you get older!
- Pain pills are addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body.
- Slowing down is not the only option. It’s just the only option your physician can offer you.
“At Precision Performance Sports Medicine, we specialize in helping run-ners regain their confidence in running pain-free by restoring their running capacity and consistency to realize personal bests and be-come Unbreakable Runners.”
It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you need to do when you have pain during running. You’ve likely heard a lot of options such as…
- A family member tells you to try ice and heat
- A colleague mentions going to a massage therapist
- The “experts” on YouTube and Instagram recommend doing a certain exercise
- A friend suggests doing a specific warm up
- All while your physician tells you to rest and take some pills and suggests maybe you find a new hobby because running is “bad for you”
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices…what will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.
When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Pain with Running…
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up running in pain for no reason or worse, you could end up getting dangerous surgery (when it was unnecessary) or being dependent on addicting painkillers the rest of your life.
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your pain and keeping it from ever coming back. Additionally, addressing the root cause of the pain will allow you to be a stronger and more resilient runner and increase the longevity of your running career!
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the pain happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At Precision Performance Sports Medicine we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your pain AND make sure it doesn’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to your physician for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually touch where you hurt.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with hundreds of runners with various pains (hips, back, knee, ankle, feet, you name it!) we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Your Low Back Pain Started
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their physician gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
You could have been told that your only choices were to rest, take some pills, never run again or change up your training.
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place. Most pain is a by-product of a movement or activity issue, which requires a movement solution.
Every person’s cause of running pain is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at Precision Performance Sports Medicine is to find that original cause of your pain, so not only does your pain go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we created a taster session called a “Discovery Session”.
Our Discovery Sessions are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Discovery Session you’ll find out what’s wrong through our Runner’s Readiness Assessment and Run Gait Assessment, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Pain & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformation occurs. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…get back to running without fear of the pain and discomfort coming back.
…be able to get back to running your regular routes with your running pose.
…run at your best and keep pushing yourself to do better, regardless of your age.
…get back to the pre-injury lifestyle you love.
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to recapture their love for running and even hit some new PRs! (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice your joy of running over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chrissy Davis, PT, DPT, OCS, ATC
What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Precision Performance Sports in Northwest Suburbs Of Chicago...
Stacy P.
"Growing up I played a ton of tennis and still try to remain active with running, yoga and strength training but being in my 40’s, I have had my fair share of overuse issues and injuries. I was always taught to ice, rest and stay off of the injury but seeing Chrissy has taught me so many more useful ways to treat my injuries and most importantly kept me moving! I love that Chrissy always makes time to see me when I am hurting..."
Berkley C.
"Dr. Chrissy has gotten me through my marathons the last few years and has kept me able to continue running and prevent injuries. I have went to a lot of PT's but Dr. Chrissy spends the entire hour with me analyzing, treating, and giving me strength exercises to actually help correct the problems before they start. She has fixed things that no one else has been able to alleviate. Highly highly recommend her."
