He completed his internship and residency in family medicine and his fellowship in primary care sports medicine at Via Christi Sports Medicine in Wichita, KS.
Dr. Breunig enjoys all aspects of sports medicine with specific interests in regenerative medicine including MSK ultrasound guided injections and tendon procedures. Additional interests include concussion management, pediatric scoliosis, rotator cuff disorders, wrist, thumb, and hand arthritis, bursitis, repetitive motion injury, strains and sprains, and stress fractures.
Breunig is a member of the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Osteopathic Association, and the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians.
In his free time, Dr. Breunig enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and two young daughters, playing golf, and exercising. He helps cover Madison La Follette high school football games. And, of course, he enjoys watching the Badgers and Packers.
Dr. Breunig and his family enjoy traveling especially to tropical destinations. They have been to Hawaii once, but would love to return to explore other islands.
_I want my patients to participate in their health care. I try to explain the diagnosis and treatment options in a way that patients can understand so we can formulate a treatment plan together. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping my patients regain their function so they can return to the activities they enjoy and improve their quality of life._ - Michael Breunig, DO
