Meet John Cianca, MD:
Patients are frequently treated based on their symptoms alone rather than the cause of those symptoms. As a result, patients are often inaccurately diagnosed and their treatment is ineffective. I believe this arises because physicians do not spend enough time with their patients. I take the time to understand my patient’s story of their condition.
A thoughtful examination is critical to formulating a differential diagnosis and ultimately a formal diagnosis of the problem. Accurate diagnosis is the central goal and the underpinning of treatment. Treatment can never be complete or effective without this as the foundation.
I completed a sports medicine and performing arts fellowship at the Baylor College of Medicine in 1993 and have been practicing sports medicine ever since. I founded the Human Performance Center in 1994. The mission of the Human Performance Center is to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions in a holistic and complete manner. I have studied acupuncture and have integrated it into my practice. I also rely heavily on therapeutic exercise and movement based therapies such as the McKenzie method, Pilates, Tai Chi and yoga.
