Vancouver Orthotics believes living pain free without drugs to mask symptoms or unnecessary surgeries is possible

This month I’d like to talk to you about choosing to avoid unnecessary surgeries and saying no to drugs that may mask symptoms instead of treating the source of your foot pain or your back pain.   I’m Dr. Michael Horowitz, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Chiropractor in Vancouver and the owner of Vancouver Orthotic Clinics! This month’s blog is about a core value – a belief we hold as we approach each patient we help in our clinic.    It is about saying NO to drugs and unnecessary surgeries.

Along with aligning the foot structure, the Custom Foot Orthotic reduces muscular fatigue and helps to promote more efficient muscle performance thus enhancing performance during the gait cycle.
