By the time I surrendered to the near constant pain in my heel, over 18 months had passed. When I read about Dr. Positano online I was cautiously optimistic. I was ready to do just about anything to get relief but I wanted the best doctor.

I never imagined it might be possible to completely heal without surgery. Dr. Rock Positano is undoubtedly a genius in healing feet without surgery. Somehow using only sound and vibration he was able to stimulate the regrowth of the main tendon running the width of my heel all the way to the ball of my foot. The image showed it half gone for goodness sake! How is it possible? I don't know, but I am sure as heck grateful! I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Dr. Positano and the entire caring and professional medical team of the Non-surgical Foot and Ankle Service!
