This past April comedian Jerry Seinfeld visited the New York College of Podiatric Medicine to thank
APMA member Dr. Joseph D'Amico for ending his 30 year struggle with heel pain. Can you imagine spending 30 years of your life suffering with something as debilitating as heel pain?
Dr. D'Amico performed a biomechanical exam along with a computer-assisted gait analysis to treat Seinfeld's long-term heel pain. Dr. D'Amico is the former chair of the orthopedics department at the school and a longtime instructor and succeeded in determining the biomechanical problems of Seinfeld's feet where other medical professionals had failed.
Seinfeld recalled how difficult it was for him to watch reruns of Seinfeld because of how much pain he was in during the filming of the show. With regards to the show, Seinfeld commented, "I have a hard time watching reruns because I see the shoes on my feet and remember how painful that experience was."
Seinfeld was so appreciative of the medical care he received from Dr. D'Amico he made a donation to the Gait Laboratory of Biomechanical Research at NYCPM as well as a donation to fully fund the Richard O. Schuster Memorial biomechanics seminar.
