Heel Spur Pain Solutions

I was suffering with foot pain for several months. I had tried cortisone shots (twice) with no relief of my symptoms. I couldn’t play tennis, run, or even sleep without pain. I had attended a program at the JCC where Dr. Miller spoke about foot pain. The information he shared at the presentation made me realize I need to try something else so I immediately made an appointment to see him. He created several exercises that not only helped reduce the pain symptoms, but also fix the root cause of the problem (tarsal tunnel). I am almost always pain free. I am back to playing tennis and doing Bar Method classes on a regular basis. I have not yet tried running again, but many people agree that running is over rated! I definitely recommend Dr. Miller.

I went to Dr. Ron as a result of having severe pain in both of my Achilles. My ortho told me that my choice was to have surgery or get a cortisone injection. I wasn’t crazy about either of those options. The surgery had a 50% chance of working, and the injections would only be temporary. I had been an avid boot camper with an active lifestyle. My injury was now preventing me from working out but more importantly it was keeping from enjoying time with my family. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Ron before I had to make the decision for surgery or injections. He said that most in these cases you can often get completely better with the right physical therapy. I initially thought he was full of it but I figured what do I have to lose. I thought there was no way he would be able to help me. I went in for an evaluation, and was completely surprised. He ran me through a series of movements, and mobility tests and came to the conclusion that he could help me. Still skeptical I said “Really?” He said yes “I can have you pain free in 3-4 visits.” He was able to do my first treatment that day, and within 2 days was noticeably better and by the fourth visit I was pain free. What was different about Pursuit Physical Therapy and Ron Miller was the attention to detail and the willingness to spend the time to actually treat me. There were not any distractions, they were not rushing people in and out, I actually was treated like a person rather than a number. Dr. Ron Miller actually invested himself in my care. I am now able to do all of the activities I was before. I no longer have to grimace every time I take a step out of bed in the morning, And most importantly I didn’t have to have surgery or injections to mask the problem. Thank you Dr. Ron Miller you ROCK!!
