What Are Footlevelers' Spinal Pelvic Stabilizer Orthotics?

  

 

Dr. Darrell Swolensky, Henderson, NV chiropractor uses and recommends SPS orthotics that are a prescribed style of flexible, custom-made foot orthotics which are worn in shoes. The same custom support is now also available in Foot Levelers' Shoethotics (combined orthotic and shoe) and Sandalthotics (combined orthotic and sandal). SPS orthotics are scientifically designed for the individual's unique postural problems, and are recommended by many healthcare professionals to help improve total body wellness.

What Do They Do?

Dr. Darrell Swolensky, Henderson, NV chiropractor uses and recommends SPS orthotics to help your feet maintain their structural and functional balance as you stand, walk, or run. Your feet are the foundation of your body, and they serve you in three important ways: they support your body whenever you stand, walk, or run; they assist you in moving from one place to another; and they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from misalignments and damaging shock stress as you move. Any weakness or unstable positioning in your feet can contribute to postural problems in the rest of your body, which may lead to back, knee and hip problems. SPS orthotics help to keep your feet in a stable position throughout the day.

How are SPS Orthotics made?

After determining that SPS orthotics could help your condition, Dr. Darrell Swolensky, Henderson, NV chiropractor will scan your feet. Dr. Swolensky will determine which style(s) of SPS orthotics are appropriate for you and the kit will then be sent to the laboratory where SPS orthotics will be created to correct any imbalances found in your casting. After the SPS orthotics arrive at the office, Dr. Swolensky will show you how to wear them properly and how to take care of them. How well the SPS orthotics work will depend in large part on how well you follow your doctor's advice.

Why do I need SPS Orthotics? What's wrong with a pair of those off-the-rack shoes inserts I've seen in my local drug store?

You are a unique individual - no one else's feet are the exact shape or in the exact same condition as yours. If your feet are somehow contributing to a postural problem in another part of your body (or if your body is putting stress on your feet), your chiropractor may need to perform corrective foot adjustments. Custom-made, flexible stabilizers are created for the individual, and designed specifically to help your doctor's adjustments "hold" better. "Off-the-rack" shoe inserts are mass produced and cannot give you the specific amount and placement of support that you may need in order to keep your feet in their proper structural positions.

If there are different styles of SPS Orthotics, how do I know which style is right for my condition?

Dr. Swolensky will select the SPS orthotics best suited for you based on a variety of factors (lifestyle, health, age, weight, sex, etc.). He or she may recommend a style which includes the patent pending Gait Cycle SystemT for shock absorption, support, and a propulsive "boost" with each step. And because most people wear at least two styles of shoes each day, your chiropractor may determine that a Combo (two pairs) would be best for your condition. He or she may also want to advise you on lifestyle changes, such as weight reduction, proper shoe style selection, and modifying your level of physical activity.

What if I have any problems or questions about my SPS Orthotics?

Most patients report no problems wearing their SPS Orthotics, Shoethotics, or Sandalthotics. "Break-in" time for these products is usually short; after that, the user often forgets that he or she is even wearing a support. However, if you have any questions about your SPS Orthotics, call your doctor; he or she can offer you expert advice on how to adapt more quickly to these products.

It all started when I was driving and a truck ran a stop sign hitting the drivers side door of my car. I had several broken ribs, a bruised lung, broken clavicle and extensive bruising. I guess it could have been much worse. What I didn’t expect was the pain would go on long after the bruises and bones healed. 

Prescription medication helped during the healing process with pain. But once I went back to work they were way to strong. I thought the neck pain and headaches would eventually go away. But in fact, it got worse with time.

Trying to seek relief, I saw doctor after doctor. I received test after test. That lasted for 4 years! I had, x-rays, EMGs, MRIs. The doctors admitted there was something wrong, but said it shouldn’t be causing all the neck pain, headaches, or inability to turn my head to the left. In the end I was told it was something I’d just have to live with. I thought NO WAY!

Almost 5 ½ years after the accident, I got a flyer from a crusader, disguised as a chiropractor telling me about chiropractic care. I set up an appointment, received a thorough evaluation and he told me he could help. Finally! Someone who knew what to do!

I felt immediate relief after the first treatment! I slept through the night for the first time in years. My headaches were gone by the second treatment. I can now turn my head without any pain. All thanks to Dr. Swolensky.

I came to see Dr. Swolensky after witnessing the amazing results my aunt had in his office. I had no control of my life. I was a ‘tripping zombie’. 
I suffered from severe migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and spent most of the day in bed. Life was really non-existent for me.
 

In just 7 weeks I have gone from 31 different pills to 4. I have 90% less pain. I also lost 20lbs in those 7 weeks.

I am a totally and completely different person. It’s like a night and day difference.
