Back to school marks the beginning of sore feet season in Dr. John Tompkin’s practice. Dr. Tompkin says “Patients have been wearing flip flops and sandals and their feet are now paying the price. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and heel spurs are aggravated and need immediate attention.” If you suffer from sore arches, heels or general foot and leg ache, Dr. Tompkin invites you to a complimentary gaitscan and consultation to discuss both orthotic therapy and foot treatment options. I have been treating foot pain and building quality custom made orthotics for nearly 19 years and I am still amazed at how many patients have been to other foot specialists in the past but have never received treatment for their foot problems prior to receiving their orthotic device. In most cases my patients receive treatments to help restore proper motion in the feet and lower limbs. Custom made orthotics can then be prescribed to help support these changes. I am also amazed when a patient brings in a bag of ridged, hard and bulky foot devices that either don’t fit in their shoes, don’t help the problem, or in some cases create new problems. The custom made orthotics at my clinic are made from resilient high quality plastics that allow the proper amount of control while permitting the foot to move as it was designed, thus optimizing shock absorption. Our orthotics can be made for the largest work boot to the smallest heel, pumps or loafers. Lastly, I am always amazed at how many patients have never received a proper explanation of their foot problems. In my clinic, I do both a foot exam and a computerized gaitscan. I then go through the results and educate the patient so they understand why their problems exist and what they can do to correct them. I explain the principles behind proper foot motion and the differences between the varying types of orthotics and allow the patient to make an informed decision.
