Back pain is the most frequently reported and treated symptom in America today.  Chronic pain often percipitated by trauma costs patients billions of dollars, millions of sick days, and does more to diminish quality of life than any other one medical problem.

Rest, exercises, stretching, medications, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, injections and surgery are all used in an attempt to diminish the dissabeling symptoms of Back Pain.  Even Dr Scholles foot care products have a Back Guard product that is supposed to reduce the stress on the structures of the lower and upper back as we walk and stand sufficient to help decrease the pain.

Even though there is usually a history of trauma and often degenerative evidence in the spine, the way we walk and stand progressively aggravates and inflames the spinal structures that limits recovery which results in chronic pain and dissability.  Treatment with foot control products will indeed reduce the stress on the tissues and help reduce symptoms.

Unfortunately the amount of benefit provides with most orthotics, foot supprts and even “back guards” creates so little change in the movemevnt of the lower extremities and pelvis that very small benefits in back pain are observe even when the patients wears their foot control devices during ALL of their weight bearing activity.

Research with theta over the last 20 years clearly relates the change in function and subsequent decrease in back pain to the amount of angular correction present in the device.  correction levels above the 20 degrees found in traditional orthotics and 10 degrees found in the Dr. Scholles products will crease a significant change sufficient to stop the chronic back symptoms.

Clinical research with Theta correction levels up to 40 degrees will produce healing benefits, that can totally eleminate back pain, even in patients with a long term very dissabeling history.      Dr. Brent Jarrett
