Shockwave Therapy & EMTT, Rehab, Training & Performance Testing in Brooklyn
Tired of being told to just rest? I'm Dr. Craig Patane, D.C., FRCms, a Brooklyn sports chiropractor and a runner. My practice is built on four pillars: shockwave therapy, rehab structured on the ADAPT method, FRC & FRS training, and metabolic and performance testing. Together they find why your body keeps breaking down and rebuild what it can handle, so you get back to sport and life.
Not sure what's causing your pain?
Answer two quick questions and see what it's likely to be, why it happens, and how we treat it, in about a minute.
Four pillars of care for the athletic body.
Shockwave therapy, structured rehab, FRC & FRS training, and metabolic and performance testing, delivered as one assessment driven plan for athletes, lifters, runners, and active adults in Brooklyn.
Three technologies. One healing plan.
Shockwave therapy is the lead service of the practice. Focused shockwave delivers concentrated acoustic energy to deep tendinous and osseous tissue, radial pressure wave treats broader myofascial and superficial tendon pain, and EMTT applies high energy magnetic pulses to support repair across bone, joint, and soft tissue. The three are frequently layered in the same plan, without surgery or downtime, and always alongside the loading work that lets the tissue keep its gains.

Rehab in this practice follows the ADAPT method: Assess, Decrease pain, Activate, Progress, Transfer. Built from 20 years of sports chiropractic and a lab full of data, it moves each patient from symptom control through progressive loading to a full return to sport and life.

Transfer

Read about Transfer
Training that builds usable range and strength.
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) trains joint mobility and neuromuscular control at end range, so the capsule, the surrounding musculature, and the nervous system can own positions that were previously passive or guarded. FRS, the Internal Strength Model, is the strength training that builds on that foundation, progressively loading the newly acquired range until it is strong, resilient, and transferable to sport.
Together they extend rehab into training: the tissue capacity restored in the clinic is developed further, rather than left to fade once the pain settles.
Lab grade testing behind the plan.
PNOE breath by breath gas exchange analysis measures VO₂max and resting metabolic rate, lactate threshold testing defines training intensities, Styku 3D body composition tracks lean mass objectively, and Runeasi gait analysis quantifies impact loading and lower limb control. The results set training zones, fueling targets, and return to sport decisions on measurement rather than estimate.
Metabolic & Performance Testing
PNOE metabolic analysis, lactate threshold, and Styku 3D body composition, interpreted together to guide training, recovery, and performance.

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.

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 athlete, 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."
