How To Assess, Treat, Rehab and Correct Foot Abnormalities Using Acupuncture, Exercise, Taping, and Custom Foot Orthotics On-line Course

Course description: In addition to foot pain being a common condition we see in our clinics, many other MSK conditions such as back and knee pain have at their root an issue with the feet and gait. Treating these patients without addressing the foot and gait issues will not fully resolve their condition. In this seminar, the practitioner will learn how to assess and treat issues of the foot and gait using a variety of techniques, and then also be able to fit the patient with orthotics to more substantially correct their condition and resolve their pain.

Course objectives:

•Understand foot mechanics including correct joint mechanics, ROM and normal movement
•Review assessment including gait analysis
•Understand the various foot mechanics pathologies and how they affect the patient
•Learn various treatments to correct foot pathologies including acupuncture, taping, rehab exercises, foot casting and sizing
•Learn the business side of foot orthotics

61 year old male with various changing musculoskeletal complaints: R neck and shoulder pain, sometimes cervical tightness causes numbness and tingling in arms. Bilateral hip pain/tightness which is intermittent, compared to the shoulder pain is more constant, but none of these are severe. Scoliosis in low back, often the L low back and flank hurt more than right.

R leg longer by 1/4”. L2-L5 or S1 very curved. R pelvis juts out compared to L. R shoulder significantly lower than L.

There was a period of bleeding in urine and semen for 2 weeks that has stopped; he went to the doctor and they ruled out UTI, STD, and hernia. On palpation the edge of the pelvic bowl is a bit tender and the most tender spot subjectively is right over the femoral pulse.

EXSTORE findings: Weakness noted in the L gluteus maximus, R adductor magnus, R hip flexors, L serratus anterior, and supraspinatus.
Current symptoms: Significant discomfort localized to the R greater trochanter, adductors, and hamstrings, with associated low back pain.

Pain management history: Prior to pregnancy, symptoms were managed with Baclofen, which was discontinued during pregnancy and is planned to resume postpartum. She claims she has had relief from DN in the past.
