Ron H is one of my favorite patients. I met him and his wife when I first moved to Agoura Hills in 1985. I started in July. In August of that year Agoura Hills held its annual Pony Express Days festivity. Agoura Hills was a one time stop for the famous Pony Express (the location is now a well know Martini Bar!). part of the Pony Express Days was a parade that ended at a Rotary pancake breakfast at the parking lot of the then new Ralph's Market. Over pancakes and juice I met Ron and his lovely wife. Ron had heel pain and I somehow talked him into coming to see me. Since that time we have tried shoe modifications, orthotics, cortisone injections, physical therapy and, yes, even voodoo. (O.K. we didn't try voodoo - probably because we don't know voodoo). Nothing worked very well. That is until SHOCKWAVE THERAPY.

In October of 2003 we subjected Ron's heel to 20 minutes of SHOCKWAVE THERAPY. The results were outstanding. Ron sent me the following letter dated January 12, 2004

Dear Dr. Zapf, I just wanted you to know how much the ultrasonic treatment for my heel spur has helped me. I still can't believe that I can walk without pain! Before I had the treatment, I was limping even after only walking a short distance. I was no longer exercising and my quality of life was impaired. A relatively short time after the treatment i was up and walking without pain, as if I had never has the problem And, my insurance company paid for it. I am very grateful to you for helping me get my life back!"

Sincerely, Ron H
