Dr. Pack's Credentials

Dr. Pack has been a physician for over 35 years. Involved in teaching his entire professional career, he is a nationally known lecturer and author and has done presentations abroad as well. Dr. Pack has had a keen interest in sports performance since he began running in 1972. As he’s aged, he has become more interested in helping older people with arthritis stay active. He believes we all have structural abnormalities (a flattened foot, longer leg etc.) and that these cause decreased performance, an increased risk of injury and later, arthritic changes. In almost all instances, these performance decreasing problems remain undiagnosed until pain occurs. He believes he can take almost any athlete in any sport and help them perform better, and at times, help older patients perform better than they ever have. “Arthritis is not something you have to get as you age but is preventable to a large extent.” With a background in pharmacy, Dr. Pack is:
