Research

Evidence-driven care, authored in-house.

FRANCO & CO, based in Miramar, Florida, maintains an active research collaboration with St. Thomas University (STU) Miami, centered on lower-extremity sports medicine and biomechanics. The work keeps our clinic honest: what we read in the journals on Monday is what we practice on Tuesday.

Dr. Sandra Franco, founder of FRANCO & CO

Biomechanics

Kinetic-chain analysis of gait, load, and injury mechanisms across athletic populations.

Sports medicine

Collaborative protocols with the STU Miami athletic department: prevention, return-to-play, and recovery.

Clinical outcomes

Every treatment we provide is guided by a commitment to measurable results. We actively track outcomes for both surgical and non-surgical interventions, using data and clinical evidence to continually improve patient care, optimize outcomes, and maintain the highest standards of excellence.
