Dr. Cragg started with physical therapy and stretching exercises. I was also fitted for orthotics. I was able to complete a marathon and I didn't have to wear a knee brace.

Now, I'm training for another marathon, and my knee doesn't affect my running or any other activity.

I've been playing soccer and tennis, and I've been running for many years.

I started playing indoor soccer about 9½ years ago, and in the past 5 years I started having problems with my left knee. I started wearing a knee brace thinking it was my knee. I never went to see a doctor about my knee. Then, I started "Train to End Stroke" to do a marathon. At one of the training sessions, I started talking to Dr. Cragg. He had informed me that runners don't wear knee braces.

Dr. Cragg asked me to come into his office to take some x-rays and check what was wrong with my knee. The x-rays came back and there wasn't anything wrong with my knee. The problem was in my back. The lower part of my spine was turned wrong. Also, I had a fallen arch, and my hamstrings were tight which caused stress on my knee.
