ORTHOTICS MAY RELIEVE CHRONIC BACK PAIN FOR SOME
posted: Oct. 06, 2019.
Bradenton attorney Dave Dietrich was prescribed orthotics to cure his plantar fasciitis, a painful foot problem that causes the heel to throb. The custom shoe inserts that cushion and align the feet worked quickly to squelch his foot pain. After several months of wearing them, he noticed his chronically sore back had stopped hurting as much, too.

Dr. Ronald Hadam, the podiatrist who fitted Deitrich for orthotics, is no longer surprised that wearing shoe inserts does more than solve foot problems. He now routinely examines the mechanics of people's feet and how small imbalances affect their knees, hips, and back.
