Foot Pain
My name is Joanne. I work at a spa and my feet ached from being on them all day. After suffering for many months, I finally came to see Dr Levine. We discovered that the shoes I was wearing were all wrong for me. After correcting the shoes I wear and (using) the orthotics made especially for my feet, I am pain – free. It sure is a joy to walk without pain!

Knee Pain
I am a triathlete and avid runner and was very depressed when my right knee would become painful after only 2 miles of running. I went to several Doctors, got x-rays, MRI’s etc. and nothing helped. Another Dr. recommended you and I thought I had nothing to lose at this point. You gave me hope and a new pair of orthotics. I wasn’t running right away, but I slowly got to where I used to be and now I have surpassed myself. I am doing more mileage on the road than I ever did before the pain. Thank you Dr. Levine for being so helpful, knowledgeable and caring. I did St. Anthony’s and will do it again next year!

Hip Pain
I was waking up in pain every morning. I’m 42 and a runner. This pain was interfering with my workouts significantly. Dr. Levine prepared orthotics for me (I have fallen arches). I have used them as prescribed since my diagnosis and can honestly say I have no pain when I get up in the morning and have been able to run 15-20 miles a week. I’m thrilled about that.

Back Pain
I am 38 years old and was in very good health except for my severe lower back problems. About three years ago, I was seriously considering life-changing back surgery because I could no longer handle the constant and excruciatingly severe pain in my lower back caused by a herniated disc and several degenerative discs.
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Dr. Levine and the orthotic inserts he manufactures before I went under the knife and it simply changed my life.
Dr. Levine’s orthotics had alleviated all of the severe symptoms of my chronic lower back problem. Over time, my condition improved to the point where I was playing golf again and, most importantly, living a normal life without the risks and side-effects of major back surgery.

Long Term Pain
I was doing triathlons and when I ran I was always feeling heavy footed with sciatica. On the bike the sciatic has been bad since I went to nationals in 1997. Three back surgeries’ later my sciatic was still there but the pain going down the leg stopped. I came to see Dr. Levine. I feel very good now when I run. I started using my orthotics on the bike and I have not had sciatica for over a month. This is the first time in years. My triathlon times can only get better. Dr. Levine I want to thank you and your staff for everything.
Sincerely,
Lisa Pesta

Running Problem
I just wanted to take a moment to send you a short note. Once I complete my ironman in April I hope to send you another success story. I just wanted to say thank you for setting me up with the orthotics. Yesterday I ran 18 miles with no pain during or after the run. This was the most I’ve run since my marathon in January 2007. I can’t tell you how happy I am to run pain-free again. Prior to seeing you last October, I was worried about the marathon portion of the ironman. I was sure that I would struggle with pain. Now, I am very hopeful and confident that any pain I have will be from the natural course of competing in a race that distance, not from a long-standing injury. I can’t say thank you enough!
I’m forever grateful

Ironman/Marathon
I just wanted to give you an update on my progress. As you know, when I first came to see you in October 2007 I was dealing with pretty severe, constant pain in my hamstrings, with additional knee and hip problems on my left side. At that point I had been dealing with constant pain for at least 4 months and nothing was helping-not massages, trips to the Chiropractor, ice, heat etc…
With every visit we talked of my goals for finishing an Ironman. You always joked with me and said that you were not sure if I had an Ironman in me—or that we didn’t know what my new ceiling was going to be. Well I’m very proud to say I HAVE AN IRONMAN IN ME!! And while I put in the hours and hours of training to finish, you gave me the tools to fix what was wrong. I know for a fact that I couldn’t have trained like I did if you had not given me the orthotics that helped correct my stride and balance. I rarely have any pain now and when I do, it is so slight that I don’t really pay attention to it.
And you’ll enjoy this, when I got off the bike after 112 miles I felt some pain in my hamstring. Instead of being worried about the upcoming marathon, I thought to myself, “it’s ok. I’m going to put my running shoes on and it will work itself out.” And that is exactly what happened. And the best thing is I finished my Ironman feeling strong and with NO pain!!!
Thanks so much!!!

Triathlete
I have just had my fastest 5K (in a triathlon no less) since starting racing again three years ago after not racing for 12 years. The improved efficiency has made a measurable difference in my running speed. Not only has my speed increased, but my Achilles tendon, which I hurt in February, has recovered with no indication of going out again!

Athlete
Thank you for helping me be a competitive volleyball player again. I played with an over 60 team at the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah and won the gold medal! We also played with a local over 65 team at the Florida State Senior Championships and won the gold!!
My vertical jump has gone from 10” to 20” and should continue to improve as my whole body feels much better and workouts are more comfortable.

Pain Free
When I came in my heel spurs were very painful and it was difficult walking. Dr. Levine worked with me for 7 weeks and each week was better as I went. We never expect feet problems but they do occur. I cooperated in all he advised me to do and here I am. I am walking free of pain!!
Thank you

Changed Life
Dr. Levine,
When I was in high school, I had two surgeries on my left foot. By the time I was 19, I could hardly walk. At the end of the day, after work, I was done for the day. Dr. Levine’s (old arch support) company made me a pair of orthotics and they seemed to work ok (but I still had discomfort). So I went to see Dr. Levine and we tried to make them work over many appointments (with minimal success).
Finally, we decided to mold my feet for new ones (arch supports now made in house). After only one visit in four months, I feel amazing! I can walk with out pain and can work an eight hour shift at work. It has changed my life.
