Regenerative Treatments & Performance Services in Brooklyn

At Form & Function Chiropractic, services are not used in isolation. Each treatment is integrated into a structured plan designed to reduce pain, restore movement, and rebuild long-term tissue capacity.

Care is tailored based on your injury, movement patterns, and performance goals — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

 How We Help You

Move Better. Recover Faster. Perform Stronger.

Shockwave & Regenerative Therapy

Focused shockwave and radial pressure wave deliver mechanical stimulation to injured tissue to promote healing, improve circulation, and reduce pain sensitivity.

These are often combined with EMTT and photobiomodulation (laser therapy) to support cellular metabolism and enhance biological repair processes.

This combination is particularly effective for chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other overload-related conditions where tissue healing has plateaued..

Chiropractic & Manual Therapy

Chiropractic care is used to restore joint mobility, reduce mechanical restriction, and improve overall movement quality.

Manual therapy techniques may be applied to address soft tissue restrictions, muscle tension, and joint dysfunction that contribute to abnormal loading patterns.

Treatment is targeted and integrated into a broader rehabilitation plan — not used as a stand-alone, passive solution.

Diagnostic Ultrasound & Precision Assessment

Diagnostic ultrasound provides real-time visualization of tendon and soft tissue structures, allowing for more precise identification of pathology and tissue response.

This enhances clinical decision-making and supports targeted, individualized treatment strategies.

Metabolic Testing & Body Composition

PNOE metabolic testing provides objective data including VO₂ max, fat oxidation, respiratory thresholds, and resting metabolic rate.

Styku 3D body composition analysis offers accurate tracking of body fat, lean mass, and body shape changes over time.

This data is used to guide training intensity, recovery strategies, and nutrition decisions — eliminating guesswork and improving performance outcomes.

Running Analysis & Performance Coaching

Running-related injuries are often influenced by load progression, cadence, stride mechanics, and training structure.

Biomechanical running analysis is used to identify movement inefficiencies that increase stress on specific tissues.

Training and return-to-run programs are then structured to manage load progression, improve efficiency, and reduce recurrence risk.

Metabolic data may be integrated to refine pacing, endurance development, and performance strategy.

Functional Range Conditioning® (FRC®) & Rehabilitation

Functional Range Conditioning® (FRC®) is used to develop joint mobility, active control, and tissue resilience across the foot, ankle, knee, and hip.

This is combined with progressive loading strategies to rebuild strength and improve the body’s ability to tolerate stress during daily activity, training, and sport.

Rehabilitation is structured in phases, progressing from pain reduction and control to strength development and return-to-performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most clinics focus on symptom relief or isolated treatments. Care at Form & Function Chiropractic integrates regenerative therapy, load-based rehabilitation, and performance data to address both pain and the underlying drivers of injury.

  • Treatment is not pre-selected. Your evaluation determines what combination of therapies is appropriate based on tissue presentation, movement patterns, and activity demands.

  • In many cases, pain improves but the underlying problem is not fully addressed. If tissue capacity, movement mechanics, and load tolerance are not restored, symptoms often return.

    Our approach is multifaceted — combining regenerative therapy to support tissue healing, progressive loading to rebuild strength and capacity, and structured return-to-activity strategies.

    This allows you to not only get out of pain, but return to running, training, and activity with greater resilience.

  • Yes. Many patients come in after limited success with other treatments. A structured approach that combines regenerative therapy with progressive loading and movement-based rehabilitation often addresses factors that were previously missed.

  • In many cases, activity modification and progressive loading strategies allow individuals to maintain conditioning while supporting tissue recovery.

    Return-to-sport decisions are based on symptom response, functional testing, and movement quality.

  • Some patients notice improvement within the first few sessions of shockwave therapy, particularly with pain sensitivity and tissue response.

    However, lasting results depend on more than the treatment itself.

    Recovery timelines vary based on the condition, how long it has been present, and how well tissue capacity and movement are restored.

    Our approach combines shockwave therapy and EMTT with progressive loading and rehabilitation to support both short-term pain reduction and long-term recovery — not just temporary relief.

  • When indicated, diagnostic ultrasound may be used to evaluate tendon structure and soft tissue integrity, improving accuracy in both diagnosis and treatment planning.

  • Both can play a role depending on the condition.

    Podiatric care often focuses on local structures of the foot and ankle, including footwear and orthotic support.

    At Form & Function Chiropractic, care takes a broader approach — addressing not only the site of pain, but how load is distributed through the foot, ankle, and entire lower extremity during movement.

    Treatment may include regenerative therapy, progressive loading, and movement-based rehabilitation to improve tissue capacity and reduce recurrence.

    👉 This approach is particularly important for runners and active individuals, where mechanics and load progression play a major role in injury development.

  • "I had severe heel spur pain that got so bad I could barely walk properly. Dr. Craig my chiropractor recommended SHOCKWAVE THERAPY, and I’m honestly blown away by the results. The pain improved so much that I genuinely don’t even remember which foot was giving me trouble. That’s how effective the treatment was! The care, professionalism, and results were outstanding. I’m beyond grateful and would highly recommend dr. Craig to anyone dealing with foot pain or heel spurs."

  • "If you have any skepticism about shockwave therapy, feel free to google it. It’s not some quack woo woo therapy, there’s a lot of science out there about how it helps muscles. It basically jump starts the body into creating new (healthy) tissue. It can also decrease pain. It’s fantastic for sports injuries or any kind of chronic pain which you just can’t get rid of! I’ve had a few sessions and the difference it makes is incredible! Craig Patane is very knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions, as well!"

    Dahlia S.

  • "Dr. Craig Patane truly made a difference in my recovery. I was dealing with significant pain in my shoulder, trapezius muscle, and lower back, and nothing seemed to help. Dr. Patane treated me using shockwave therapy and EMTT, and it was the only treatment that gave me real relief. His approach was thorough, knowledgeable, and focused on actually addressing the source of my pain rather than just masking it. I am incredibly grateful for his care and highly recommend him to anyone struggling with chronic or acute pain."
