Treating a biomechanical problem is accomplished by analyzing a patients posture and structural defects that are causing their bodies to compensate. This type of compensation effects a large variety of muscles and soft tissue in the human body. This can lead to problems like shin splints, lower back pain, arthritis, achy legs, sore feet, knees and hips and even nerve and skin conditions.
Wachtel Family Foot Care’s office is comfortable and state of the art. He utilizes computerized readouts to craft customized orthotics and utilizes computerized gate assessments to stabilize patients suffering from equilibrium problems. He combines lab results and x-rays to diagnose major conditions such as arthritis and diabetes. When the diagnosis is finished, he neutralizes any pathology or foot troubles and treats patients suffering from diabetic foot wounds and infections as a result of to poor blood circulation.
