🦶How to Relieve Foot Pain & Avoid Surgery with Orthotics | Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins

from Functional Medicine with Dr. Robins · host Dr. Howard Robins

In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we explore how biomechanical orthotic devices can play a critical role in the prevention of foot surgery and the effective treatment of painful foot conditions.Biomechanical orthotics are custom-designed medical devices, not generic shoe inserts. They are prescribed after a detailed analysis of how you walk and how your feet function. Using casts or advanced measurements, these orthotics are designed to correct abnormal foot mechanics, improve alignment, and redistribute pressure—helping to reduce pain and prevent injury.Dr. Robins explains how improper foot mechanics can contribute not only to foot pain, but also to problems in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. By correcting excessive or abnormal motion at the foundation of the body, biomechanical orthotics can significantly improve movement, reduce inflammation, and help patients avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.This episode is essential for anyone suffering from:Chronic foot painPlantar fasciitisHeel painArch painKnee, hip, or back pain linked to foot mechanicsRecommended foot surgery they’d like to avoid👉 Subscribe for more expert insights from Dr. Howard Robin : ‪@DoctorHowardRobins‬
