She has been able to solve, on a daily basis, foot pain that patients have endured for months and years.

“I use a combination of a very thorough physical exam, gait evaluation and a neurological postural exam. Pain is not always experienced at the source of the problem. Even Dr. Scholl’s products demonstrate this – there’s an arch support meant to relieve back pain. It is called quite simply the

“Back Pain Relief” insole. A foot problem can be manifested as back pain, and certainly vice versa. An arthritic joint in the forefoot can cause you to disproportionately bear weight on your heel or opposite foot, causing pain in the heel or opposite foot – not the damaged joint. This is common enough that I always perform the postural test for chronic pain. Once I establish the source of the problem, I can help you resolve the pain.”
