Body Structure Evaluation (Back Pain)

Back Pain and Foot Conditions: The Link
Many foot conditions eventually contribute to health concerns farther up the kinetic chain, especially the generalized condition of "back pain."

An anatomical difference in leg length produces abnormal structural strains on the pelvis and low back. These can cause not only chronic pain, but also have been shown to result in specific degenerative changes

The use of prescribed orthotics, after the proper computerized structural scan has been shown to reduce these strains and bring about significant improvement.

Ask yourself these few simple questions to find out if you're a candidate for a body structure evaluation and custom prescribed orthotics. Start your journey toward the lifestyle you deserve!

  1. Do you stand or walk on hard surfaces for more than four hours a day?
  2. Do you participate regularly in any physical sport (e.g., basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, running)?
  3. Are you age 40 or older?
  4. Have you had any prior injury to your knee, neck or back?
  5. Do your shoes wear unevenly?
  6. Do you have joint pain while standing, walking or running?
  7. Is one of your legs shorter than the other?
  8. Do you have knock-knees or bowlegs?
  9. Do you have obvious foot problems (bunions, corns, flat feet, etc.)?
  10. Do your feet "toe out"?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions you are a likely candidate.

Can Damaged Nerves Regenerate?

Image
First, it’s important to realize that damage can occur when enough pressure is applied to any living tissue. The anatomy of our nerves includes many micro-structures such as the blood vessels that bring needed oxygen to the several layers of the nerve. If the nerve is deprived of oxygen long enough, there can be damage to its infrastructure, similar to a heart attack damaging the heart muscle.  A pinched nerve results in symptoms that include numbness, tingling, weakness, and in some cases, burning sensations. There are three stages of nerve damage that can be simplified into mild, moderate, and severe, and the ability for nerves to regenerate depends largely on the amount of damage and the length of time that has passed before treatment is sought out. Generally speaking, it has been well reported that the nerves that make up the peripheral nervous system (the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord) have the ability to regenerate, while those within the central nervous sy

Chronic Pain and Whiplash

Most sprains and strains typically take six weeks to recover, provided the patient receives proper care, which may include self-management strategies. However, something is different about a whiplash associated disorders (WAD) injury in that many patients do not recover. At the Whiplash 2017 Symposium held in Australia, Dr. Michele Sterling stated, “Whiplash associated disorders are a costly burden to Australian society. Up to 50% of people who experience a whiplash injury will never fully recover. Whiplash is resistant to treatment and no early management approach has yet been shown to prevent chronic pain. We are hoping this study will provide a promising treatment for chronic pain.” Experts in the field presented important information about the development and prevention of disorders associated with a WAD injury such as chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression after trauma. The University of North Carolina’s Dr. Samuel McLean reported that app
