 Sports injuries are an every day occurrence in today’s world. Dr. Starr has performed thousands of injections into injured muscles and ligaments. He has performed physical therapy and rehabilitation for his patients since beginning private practice. Dr. Starr treated numerous athletes for strains and sprains of muscles and ligaments, including partial tears. He has had great success rehabilitating fractures as well.
.
 This hands-on approach allowed Dr. Starr to realize that many lingering injuries were due to hormone imbalances and environmental illnesses. Treatment and protocols for the four types of muscle pain were first described by his mentor, Hans Kraus, M.D.

 Kraus was known as the originator of Sports Medicine in America (N.Y. Times Obituaries 3/7/96). He was an orthopedic fracture surgeon who specialized in muscle pain, sports injuries, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. He was the first to mobilize sprains and certain fractures beginning in the late 1930s. Dr. Kraus treated over 10,000 patients including many professional and amateur athletes during his long career. Dr. Starr follows the tenets put forth by Hans Kraus, M.D.
