Dynamic Chiropractic - When to Consider Orthotics: Research-Based Recommendations

When to Consider Orthotics: Research-Based Recommendations

03/04/25 • 24 min

Dynamic Chiropractic

Foot orthotics may be necessary when patients experience back problems worsened by activity, recurrent ankle sprains, or have a family history of foot issues. Athletes with lower extremity stress fractures, shin splints, or hamstring strains might also benefit. Examination findings like postural imbalances, gait asymmetry, or foot deformities can indicate a need for orthotics. X-ray findings, such as scoliosis or uneven sacral base, and a lack of response to conservative treatments are additional signs. Ultimately, orthotics can improve biomechanics, reduce stress on joints, and support musculoskeletal health. They can be especially helpful for recreationally active and elderly patients.

How to Build Exceptional Professional Relationships

Building exceptional professional relationships, according to Dr. Daniel Dahan, is not merely a strategy but a reflection of core human values like kindness, generosity, sensitivity, trust, and care. True professional success is intertwined with the connections we cultivate, making relationships pivotal in our journey. The article emphasizes that trust, built through active listening and genuine concern, is essential. Instead of trying to impress, expressing sincerity and empathy helps build bridges.

A key element is the power of reciprocal trust, where reliability and integrity lead to mutual confidence. It's crucial to align with individuals who share your values and goals, as positive associations boost morale and reputation, while negative ones can hinder progress. Exceptional relationships are also reciprocal, built on a genuine willingness to support each other, fostering an environment of mutual benefit. Adhering to integrity and moral principles is non-negotiable, attracting like-minded individuals. Approaching relationships with a service-oriented mindset, focused on helping others, creates a positive and sustainable impact. Ultimately, prioritizing these principles enhances our professional lives and contributes to a more ethical work environment.
