Durable medical equipment and
orthotics
Durable
medical equipment includes things as simple as a brace for the sacroiliac
joints to equipment such as specialized chairs or personal electric stimulation
units for use at home. Orthotics are inserts that are worn inside the shoes and
these may be purchased over the counter or may be prescribed and custom fit.
In school a
professor once said that if a patient has bad ergonomics, continuing to treat
him may have little or no benefit until that problem is corrected. We have seen
this first hand in practice. From poor work space organization, to terrible
beds and pillows, to wearing the wrong kinds of shoes, all of these can affect
the outcome of a patient. This is why very early on in treatment we have a
discussion about patients’ environments. Looking at the wear patterns on shoes
and whether their legs and hips are the same height/length can also be very revealing.
Taking a holistic approach to treatment means that we are in a better position
not only to correctly diagnose the problem but to identify possible barriers to
progress.
In our
office we use the appropriate combination of the 7 keys to lasting relief. We
have a proven 3 step process that is 100 % natural. We use the right keys at
the right time to reduce pain, improve activities of daily living and then we
give patients the tools to help themselves stay out of pain at home on their
own.
