Being outdoors in nature is one of the most healing activities you can participate in. Human beings have always been outside, immersed in the beauty of nature. But our world today is different. We wear shoes; and we wear them almost everywhere we go. So understanding the effect shoes have on your foot, and right fit of a good shoe is important.
This functional understanding of the foot is called Biomechanics. What it provides a foot specialist is a way to describe how the foot functions based on the understanding of bone positions and ranges of motion.
Foot deformities can occur because of biomechanical imbalance. When the foot is not operating correctly, various deformities such as bunions and hammertoes can develop which will need some sort of surgery if left unchecked. Visiting our practice, we will use the most modern digital Xray technology to evaluate your foot structure, along with a thorough biomechanical evaluation.
With the assistance of sophisticated software (OsiriX) on Apple iMac computers, we are able to reconstruct 3-D images of your MRI or CT scans to diagnose foot pathology like no other practice in Los Angeles. The investment in digital Xray technology leaves a zero foot carbon footprint. The computers are solar powered and the digital xrays require no actual xray film or folders so there is no paper or chemical usage.
With this advanced technology, giving you a comprehensive biomechanical diagnosis will help you spend more time barefoot without pain. Our focus is to control your foot structure, so that you can enjoy that barefoot walk by the ocean without pain.
