This site is a public service to provide notice of a recent advance in the treatment of common, chronic pain that can be enduringly and markedly relieved by the precise use of orthotics to reduce even the normal stress of posture. Modern medicine usually emphasizes the treatment of abnormal extents of disorder, thus only a minority of people, usually, are candidates for care. It is now reported in medical literature that correcting even normal extents of flatness of the arches or angularity of the feet by the use of foot orthotics worn in the shoes, or correcting normal unlevelness of the pelvis (an average of 1/4 inch) by a heel lift inside one shoe, is followed by a strong and enduring reduction of chronic pain. Thus, most people with chronic pain can be helped, as most people have somewhat flattened arches, some angularity of the ankles, and unlevelness of the pelvis.

This site describes this method in detail and can be printed for discussion with your physician, lists practitioners presently trained in this technique, and calendars weekend Courses which your physician can attend to learn this procedure for relief of your chronic pain.
