Perspective
Dr. pack works closely with rheumatologists; they treat the disease while he corrects their structural abnormalities to help them perform better with less pain

 

All arthritic conditions are impacted to some extent by poor lower body biomechanics

 

The foot is the foundation of the skeletal system.  If it is off, all the weight bearing joints (ankles, knees, hips and back) are usually affected to some extent.

 

By controlling lower extremity structural abnormalities, pain in the weight bearing joints can often be reduced.

 

Foot orthotics should be viewed  as highly customized eye glasses for the foot.  The more precise the prescription and the correction, the better you will perform and the less symptoms you should have.

Arthritis & Other Medical Conditions


There are many, types of arthritis.  Regardless of which type you may be afflicted with, the deforming forces of friction on our weight bearing joints is greatly accentuated by abnormal function.  Just like the tires on your car, the better the wheels are aligned, the better the ride and the longer the tires last. This is best illustrated with osteoarthritis which is basically a “wear and tear” joint disease that occurs as we age  Uniquely qualified as a Founding Fellow of the American College of Rheumatology (arthritis), Dr. Pack’s unique techniques allows him to find and eliminate these abnormal stress forces.  This often permits those with arthritis to not only decrease symptoms but enhance performance.
