Posture Control Insoles®

Medical Doctors - why they recommend PCIs

In the past, only homeopathic and osteopathic physicians approached medicine from a multidisciplinary perspective. Today, an increasing number of doctors realize that you cannot isolate a ligament, joint or even a tooth and treat it exclusively without being cognizant of its interaction with other parts of the body. They are the new breed of medical professionals that see the body as an integrated system. They are the medical doctors and health care professionals who appreciate why and when to recommend Posture Control Insoles®.

Posture Control Insoles® are designed for people willing to take responsibility for improving their health and quality of life and the physicians who are willing to help them do so.
 

Why don't podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons offer Posture Control Insoles®?

It is mostly a business decision.  Surgery and orthotics is what they are trained to do and it's far more profitable than Posture Control Insoles®.

Procedures that could be dramatically reduced like arthroscopic knee surgery and custom orthotics total more than $5 billion annually in the US,  generating huge profits. 

Since you are on the paying end of this business, you might like our solution better. 

It makes good sense to try Posture Control Insoles® first.

Dr. Bernard Filner, MD

Musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain is by far the most common complaint and main reason for visits to the doctor's office.  I see mostly severe, chronic  cases ranging from foot and lower extremity pain to back and neck pain, and many of these patients have tried custom orthotics or even had unsuccessful back surgery.  I zero in on posture and gait mechanics, and fit most of my patients (85%) with Posture Control Insoles® to bring them back to a healthier posture.   Starting with Posture Control Insoles® makes my other treatment methods more effective because my patients no longer have the high degree of muscle tension and pain caused by excessive hyperpronation and poor posture.

My personal transformation to exclusively treat chronic pain patients required an expanded perspective on medicine.  I met Dr. Brian Rothbart in the mid 90’s, who showed me that poor posture was frequently caused by excessive pronation and was the cause of most musculoskeletal pain. I took Dr. Rothbart’s correlation between excessive pronation, poor posture and chronic pain and reviewed my patient population for excessive pronation. I discovered that 100% of my patients excessively pronated – I have not found one in more than three years who did not. Looking at pronation as a root problem caused me to re-evaluate why other very common treatments for back pain resulting from excessive pronation fail so frequently - take arch supports for example. Yes, arch supports “support” your feet but that only makes them weaker.  It may make your feet feel better and even ease the spasms in your back  temporarily.  However, arch supports only support your feet at midstance so your gait and stance will  largely remain distorted. Understanding posture has really changed the way physicians can provide faster and better treatment to people suffering from great pain.

If you are just experiencing your first aches or you suspect that your posture is poor because you hyperpronate,  by all means give Posture Control Insoles® a try.  Don't let your condition deteriorate.  If left untreated, the body will try to compensate to eliminate the pain which over time will lead to new, often different and worse pain.  These pain-compensation cycles will continue until treated or until the body breaks down.  By this time the disease may impact digestion, incontinence, heart palpitations and other vital aspects of health.

If you are in significant chronic pain, I suggest that you seek a practitioner near you that offers Posture Control Insoles®. With that practitioner, I believe you will find a health care advocate who is willing to take the time to understand your medical history and treat you in a more holistic manner.

Sincerely,
Dr. Bernard Filner, MD

Dr. Gerald Smith, DDS

What I call "whole body dentistry" is not part of the current curriculum for dentists and orthodontists.   Cosmetic dentistry in particular is focused on aligning the teeth for a better look.  As the teeth are moved and straightened, the patient's bite may change which in turn can lead to serious musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain.  Traditional dentistry requires extreme caution when fitting crowns, dental bridges and performing tooth extractions.

A change in the bite changes the pressures on the jaw and the maxilla which holds the upper teeth.  This in turn modifies the sutures (attachments between the bones) of the skull and the shape of the occipital bone, which is the lower bone of the skull to which the spine is attached.  These changes can cause descending postural distortion - in other words, something has happened above the neck that affects the posture from that point downward throughout the rest of the body.  This isn't a big surprise.  Imagine a ten-story building where the top three stories are shifted so the building is out of balance.  It might start leaning which will cause even greater stresses on the floors below.  Your body works the same way.      

Sometimes shimming a tooth by as little as the thickness of a sheet of 24-pound paper significantly and positively changes the postural impact of the bite.  I frequently see my patients achieve relief from back and knee pain when I adjust so that their bite is in balance.   

Your feet have an even greater impact on posture, and most dentists are now aware that there is a connection between the feet, posture and TMJ dysfunction.  What I deal with, and what I learned from Dr. Rothbart are the complications that can occur when you have mixed ascending and descending posture influences from the feet and the bite at the same time.  These patients will just not get permanent pain relief from other treatments unless both the sources of posture distortions are addressed. 

This was problematic in the past because traditional orthotics do not consistently improve posture.  The Posture Control Insoles® offer far greater predictability. The postural changes we observe based on these seemingly insignificant (compared to orthotics) insoles are nothing short of astounding. 

By correcting the bite and postural foundation using Posture Control Insoles® most patients can become pain free.

With great appreciation to Dr. Brian Rothbart whom I recently visited at his clinic outside Rome in Italy.

Sincerely,
Dr. Gerald Smith, DDS

Finally, an etiology (cause) for what Dr. J Gordon Zink DO labeled "Common Compensatory Patterns" has been established!  What we have learned from the research by Dr. Brian Rothbart is that the root cause for most of the postural distortions we see in our chronically ill patients is Primus Metatarsus Supinatus (an elevated first metatarsal). 

For the last 4 years I have used other brands of insoles including proprioceptive insoles by KS Italia and PZ Healthmarque, but the teachings of Dr. Rothbart and Posture Control Insoles® have given us better diagnostic tools, a root etiology and most importantly, a consistent and predictable tool for helping our patients to postural improvement and pain relief. 

European osteopaths have long considered posture a critical element of good health.  The postural connection to feet has been well established, but until obtaining the research by Dr. Rothbart we have lacked a full understanding of the connection between certain gait patterns and specific features (typically deficiencies) of the feet.

Dr. Rothbart is also on the leading edge in developing an understanding of the individual neuromuscular response to these features (bracers and releasers).  Now we can diagnose and treat with confidence because for the first time we have  orthotics,  Posture Control Insoles®, that give us a highly predictable outcome.

Our patients, Dr. Xydas and I thank you.

Sincerely,
Dr. Petros Kattou, DO

Predictable Performance

As Dr. Petros Kattou and clinicians worldwide attest, Posture Control Insoles® differ from custom orthotics in that Posture Control Insoles® predictably perform for patients all over the world.

Certain features of the feet combined with certain features of the gait dictate the use of specific Posture Control Insoles® or a progression of strength of Posture Control Insoles® and, in some instances, arch supports.  Arch supports may be applied to the Posture Control Insoles®, but are usually reserved for a specific reason, and often used temporarily to achieve a specific result.

When you understand the root cause of a problem, you truly have the upper edge - our edge is predictable performance.  As a result the customer success rate with Posture Control Insoles® exceeds 97% while the use of traditional custom arch support orthotics remains a $600 coin toss.

There is no need for fancy foot scans to convince you that you need Posture Control Insoles®.   For most people, fitting themselves with Posture Control Insoles® is as simple as following a 2-step process.  We guarantee the result. 
Go there now!

Using Posture Control Insoles® is a positive feeling from the start. Yes, you may feel isolated discomfort as your posture improves because you are after all changing old ingrained muscle patterns.  But, your overall discomfort should be easing and your performance should be improving with better range of motion, more strength and reduced aches and pain.

The results are guaranteed with our 90 day performance promise.  Be satisfied or all your money back including standard shipping and handling.
