I was suffering from heel pain for 5 years. The pain was affecting my ability to walk and stand and had a direct impact on my knees and back. I saw multiple physicians who could not diagnose my exact condition and some of them recommended surgery. I finally found Dr. Positano and his non-surgical foot service because of his excellent reputation and his many publications on heel pain. He sent me for an x-ray and diagnostic ultrasound which permitted him to examine the heel and the surrounding structures in a way that I had never seen before. After reviewing my films and examining my heel he had a diagnosis and treatment plan in place. I received physical therapy. Dr. Positano also prescribed an ultrasound guided injection at Hospital for Special Surgery. He prescribed and made a prescription orthotic that has kept my heel pain free as well as my knee and back. Following Dr. Positano’s recommendations, I have returned to a normal, pain-free and active life. I am able to walk for exercise and my knees, hips and lower back have not bothered me since my heel pain disappeared. No surgery was necessary and for that I am forever grateful.
