The Solution: Better Orthotics
Because We Understand How Feet Work
“I would like to thank Dr. Robert Levine and his entire team, for improving my comfort of life, by allowing me to walk again without pain" -D.W.
House slippers are a farce and are totally inadequate to providing a comfortable alternative and casual rest from outdoor shoe gear.
Infants’ shoes come in hard and soft soles because the manufacturers want to make whatever you think your child needs. Many studies show this is the best time to influence adult position and is certainly a market that would easily accept the latest thing that’s best for baby.
Work boots: try to find any significant percentage of people on a job site that think their boots are comfortable. It wouldn’t take much effort to adapt all existing designs.
All pregnant women want longer and wider feet; that’s courtesy of a hormone called Relaxin which not only softens the uterus before delivery but, unfortunately, also loosens all of the other ligaments in the body. On the contrary we believe that this is the perfect time to realign the foot and improve the supporting structure of the body.
Women’s dress shoes; most women wear shoes that are too flat for them. Find another doctor that thinks so. And yet recent studies show that women are wearing lower heel heights in an attempt to be more comfortable. That’s the wrong answer. What woman wouldn’t rather wear more stylish shoes and wear them more comfortably at the same time? There is a reason that women have more foot trouble than men and it’s not because of high heels.
Nike is the largest sneaker manufacturer in the world. The beauty of their advertising is that it contains very little talking. That way you are free to interpret what the images mean to you. But what if they could say, “We know what you want and we know how to give it to you.” They can't because they don’t know either, no one does.
What does the military do when a soldier in the field or on a ship gets disabling heel spurs, shin splints or low back pain?
What does anybody do for low back pain? Certainly not go to their foot doctor.
Why does Medicare pay for preventative foot care for diabetics when it pays for so few other preventative services? Is it the hope that it will reduce the number of amputations or the recognition of the tremendous cost of care for the amputee?
They can't even explain the proper mechanics of the midfoot, your arch. But I can. And, with this knowledge I can provide stability to the elderly, strength and less injury to the athlete, comfort for women who dress for success, relief for the teen with growing pains which turns into adult arthritis, improved bottom line for the company which has to deal with the loss of employees, and the cost of training and filling their positions, not to mention healthcare dollars, workers comp and lost productivity of key people.
The answer is orthotics based on how the foot actually works. Hundreds of success stories from parents of young children, athletes, the elderly, and everyone in between testify to the effectiveness.
