Alex Hyman Just watched a youtube video on “Cuboid Syndrome Treatment” by Balance Foot & Ankle and I think the suggested treatment in the video has almost instantly healed my foot! Doug Gosa Amazingly thorough! Astoundingly effective results! If you’re in their area – they need to be your people!!! Joseph Russo I’m 54 years old, and I’m always enlighten by the info I get from this channel. We can never stop learning to better our health. Monika Vorberg Watched the video on cuboid syndrome after suffering mild ache down the side of my left foot for a few months. It’s got to the point where I was considering a podiatrist visit, but thought I’d try and see what it could be. Found this video, tried the exercise, felt the tiniest of nudges in my foot…stopped wiggling and I’m cautiously optimistic that it’s done the trick! Amazing if so, THANK YOU! Audrey R. I watched this video and it helped so much. Great explanation and guidance. I’ve just ordered new walking shoes and an ankle brace the Doc recommended. Maybe I’ll be able to resume my walking again. Maybe now I can have my husband try to fix it next time. Highly recommend Dr. Biernacki. He uses plain language and explains so well! Thank you, Doc! Katharina Jhon Dear Michigan Doctor I respect your films; we learn a lot. Your teaching is a lifesaver. Billion Menschen has problems, with aging, etc. This is the fastest and best way for us to know more about what to do!! Without you, half the planet’s population would be dead or in wheelchairs!!! THANK YOU, DOCTOR, Harold Steggal I just broke my pinky toe on my right foot yesterday 😡 for the third time. You all are suggesting that I go to the doctor?! THIS is a rural area of poplar bluff Missouri and they are just going to take X-rays and send me on my way back home. I like the video BTW you taught me how to wrap my toes together. I appreciate it. Maybe 😏, if it turns purple on my toe. I’ll listen to you and head over to the doctor and have it checked out. Tysvm. Divine Won The delightful Dr. Deeva Frankel and her fabulous staff are exceptionally professional, personable and very interested to help in any way they can. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with her quickly after I was in the hospital for nine days healing from cuts to my toes which I was unaware of due to diabetic neuropathy. Mmy admiration has only increased with each appointment ~ I greatly appreciate a highly supportive healthy environment from this great doctor and her staff. Highly recommended! (810) 206-1402
