Custom v. Non-Custom Orthotics -Dr. Kevin Wong - Sponsored by Foot Levelers

When patients need medical care, the majority of them will begin with allopathic medicine, believing that pain is the indicator of when to seek treatment. It's common for doctors to only treat pain rather than identifying and correcting the foot/arch dysfunction and biomechanical problems that are the underlying cause. If the source of the issue isn't addressed, pain is likely to reoccur. This course is sponsored by Foot Levelers and made free to all KCA Members.
