  • I've worked with Dr. MCINNIS for a few years as a long time runner and she has always understood how important it is for me to get back to what I love to do after being injured.

I drove 1.5 hours to be seen one way for this appointment due to severe pain and looking for non surgical options and the best she gave me was a suggestion use a NSAID gel and continue physical therapy I was already participating in.
