I treat the whole runner, not just the sore part.
Most providers are either serious athletes with no clinical depth, or clinicians who don't train seriously. Dr. Patane is both. He's a competitive ultramarathoner and a 20-year sports chiropractor with lab data behind every recommendation.
Not a runner? The same whole-person assessment applies to any active body, including weekend warriors, lifters, and athletes in every sport.
Load > Capacity = Pain.
My guiding clinical principle. Restore how your body handles load and the pain stops coming back.
Not a runner? You're still in the right place.
The ADAPT method is assessment-driven and root-cause focused, and it works just as well for general athletes, weekend warriors, lifters, and active adults with nagging or recurring pain. I look at how you train, move, recover, and load, find what's actually driving the problem, and build capacity so the pain stops coming back.
Find your issue. Find your fix.
Tap your body region. Most of what I see, I've seen a hundred times.
Don't see your condition? If it involves pain, movement limitation, or reduced performance, I can help.

Dr. Craig Patane, D.C.
Brooklyn sports chiropractor with 20 years in practice, a UESCA-certified running coach, and a competitive road and ultramarathon runner. He sits on both sides of the table as athlete and clinician, and he uses lab data (VO₂max, body composition, gait analysis) to back his recommendations. The plan covers the whole runner, not one sore body part.
- Treats the root cause, not just the painful spot
- Backs recommendations with VO₂max, gait, and body comp data
- A better answer than “just rest”, so runners keep running
- Serves Brooklyn & Manhattan from 1272 51st Street
Results That Speak.
"I had severe heel spur pain that got so bad I could barely walk. Dr. Craig recommended shockwave therapy, and I'm blown away by the results—the pain improved so much I don't even remember which foot was giving me trouble. Outstanding care and results. Highly recommend for anyone with foot pain or heel spurs."
"If you're skeptical about shockwave therapy, google it—there's a lot of science behind it. It jump-starts the body into creating healthy new tissue and decreases pain. Fantastic for sports injuries or chronic pain. The difference it makes is incredible, and Craig is very knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions."
"Dr. Craig Patane truly made a difference in my recovery. I had significant shoulder, trapezius, and lower-back pain and nothing helped. He treated me with shockwave therapy and EMTT—the only thing that gave me real relief. Thorough, knowledgeable, and focused on the source of the pain rather than masking it."
