Episode description

Dr Tom Hecker is a renowned Orthopedic Surgeon and has operated on thousands of patients during his career. But when he became the patient after suffering a tragic fall while climbing and shattering his own ankle even the best surgeons told him his only chance was probably amputation. 

Dr Tom refused to believe his foot needed amputated and one day a guy walked into his office with a new device he was testing out. Dr Tom tried it for himself and within a year his ankle had completely healed, no surgery and no amputation. It also started him on a path of healing patients rather than just 'fixing' them. 

Today, Dr Tom has his own practice, Hecker Sports Medicine in Ft. Collins Colorado where he is using alternative medicine such as stem cells and other options to not only fix but truly heal patients and give them the quality of life they deserve.
