Wanted to report how easy it was to undergo NA with Dr. Charlie Eaton in Jupiter - into office at 2, out at 3:15 with straight fingers - no pain, really only mild discomfort - I had 3 fingers involved, the worst was a 30 degree bend so I was only Stage One - now hand is perfect - recovery is quick and a snap - highly recommend him and the NA procedure - Jack

I agree, Dr. Eaton is wonderful. I had a 90 degree PIP small finger contracture, plus a boutonierre problem on the DIP joint of same finger. (a boutonierre is where the last joint is bending upwards...my finger looked like the letter Z). The finger was stuck in that position for about four years and I didn't expect a complete correction after NA, I was actually told that 50% correction was the best I could expect because of the boutonierre condition and length of time the finger had been in that position.

My NA with Dr. Eaton was in March. The PIP joint is at about 15 degrees and the DIP joint is straight. I regained complete movement in the PIP joint, but not in the DIP joint. Still....I am very happy with the results.

I wouldn't hesitate re-doing the NA (this was the second NA on same finger)...and would not hesitate to fly to Florida to have it done with Dr. Eaton....he is great !!!
