  BACKSYS® is a rehabilitation system that provides an easy-to-use, effective way to condition and strengthen back muscles affected by injury, illness, or postural distortions.

• Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis:

  Problem – Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick connective tissue on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) that helps maintain the arches of the foot. The inflammation is due to tearing of the tissue. It is often a precursor to a heel spur. The soles of the feet are very painful, especially in the early morning. The condition tends to be chronic and difficult to heal without proper foot support.

  Plantar Fasciitis Solution

  Stabilizing Orthotics have been shown to dramatically reduce pain associated with plantar fasciitis.

  The Foot Wheel is designed to massage the bottom of your foot, making it more flexible. This will allow your foot to move more freely and will reduce pain.

• Neck Pain:

  Problem – Generalized neck pain can be a result of multiple conditions. The most common reason for the complaint is dysfunction of the joints and muscles of the neck.

  Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments are physical procedures administered by a licensed chiropractor to restore joint mobility, improve function of the nervous system, reduce pain, inflammation and promote healing. Adjustments can be delivered by hand or through the use of an instrument and can also promote health in the absence of current complaints.

• Leg Length Discrepancy:
  Problem – Having one leg shorter than the other is a common physical condition. It has two primary causes–structural or functional problems. Structural differences in length can be the result of growth defect, previous injuries or surgeries. Functional differences in length can result from altered mechanics of the feet, knee, hip and/or pelvis.
• Hip Pain:
  Problem – Generalized hip pain can be a result of multiple conditions. The most common reason for the complaint is dysfunction of the joint, ligaments, bursas and its related muscles. Other joints and muscles of the lower extremity and pelvis can often contribute.
• Knee Pain:
  Problem – Generalized knee pain can be a result of multiple conditions. The most common reason for the complaint is dysfunction of the joint, its ligaments and its related muscles. Other joints and muscles of the lower extremity and pelvis can often contribute.
• Ankle Pain:
  Problem – The most common reason for ankle pain is dysfunction of the joint, its ligaments and its related muscles. Other joints and muscles of the lower extremity and pelvis can often contribute. If the knee joint, ligaments, muscles and bursas are not the primary cause, they are often affected secondarily as a result of other conditions.
• Shin Splints:
  Problem – Deep pain in the front or back of the lower leg associated with activity is most frequently a result of shin splints. Pain in the front of the leg is more common. The tissues producing the pain are thought to be muscles, tendons, bones or a combination of these.
• Heel Spur Pain:
  Problem – A heel spur is an overgrowth of bone that resembles a hook on the bottom of the foot. It is a reaction to stress placed on the thick connective tissue on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) that helps maintain the arches of the foot. A heel spur is often accompanied by a bursitis that is a major contributor to pain.
• Sports Injuries:
  Problem – Athletes are susceptible to injury during intense sports. Injuries can be mild or severe, ranging from Turf Toe to a broken bone. Many common injuries are sprains, which are torn or stretched ligaments.
• Whiplash:
  Problem – Whiplash is an injury to the head and neck. It occurs frequently in car accidents, but can happen during a serious fall or during sports. Whiplash stretches and tears the ligaments and tendons in the neck.
• Diabetic Orthotics:
  Problem – Diabetics must take special care of their feet. Diabetes damages blood vessels, which results in poor circulation, nerve damage and slow healing. These changes are termed peripheral neuropathy. This combination of factors can cause significant health problems for diabetic patients.
