Ergonomic Foot Wear / Medical Grade Orthotics: Arch pain and heel pain

Arch pain, (Plantar Fasciaiitis) and heel pain (Calcaneal Bursitis and Heel Spurs), are one of the most common foot onditions being treated in medicine today.

The cause, is complex, however the usual causes are due to foot abnormalities being affected by man-made surfaces and footwear.

The treatment has historically been done through the utilization of orthotics, surgery, immobilization, and injections.

Advancements in 3-D static and dynamic imaging systems have now opened up the door to evaluate simple to complex loadbearing conditions in critical regions of the foot. Digital Orthotics, a bio engineering company, has developed a static and dynamic 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging technology that precisely evaluates cyclic load conditions of the body interacting with the ground. The technology is referred to as 3DO imaging (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics). The analysis is quick and simple and takes approximately 90 seconds to perform but provides a tremendous amount of information relative to static and dynamic forces relative to Mass displacement, motion analysis, pressure, body balance, symmetry, gait, and three dimensional geometry.

3DO imaging is the latest medical device system that provides a complex array of solutions for patients with loadbearing joint pain affecting the foot, leg, knee, hip, pelvis, and spinal structures.
