Dr. Kiper offers Silicone Orthotics for arch support.

The Silicone Dynamic Orthotic is the next generation prescription in arch support—

the most accurate made today. Using silicone fluid, it cushions shock from your foot to your low back while absorbing the harmful effects of arch motion (overpronation).

What makes the SDO unique as an orthotic is that the silicone fluid is assisting your arch motion inside the arch by "floating" the skeletal structure of the foot biomechanically. It simply gives the arch a cushion that moves with your foot as if it were part of it so that the plantar (bottom) surface of the foot is in solid and stable contact with the ground.

Think of it this way. A cushion of silicone under your arch. It fills the entire inside surface of the arch. It matches the way you walk.

A traditional orthotic tries to control arch motion outside the arch. It grabs the exterior of the foot like a brace to control the skeletal structure of the foot.

What Makes The Silicone Dynamic Orthotic Unique and So Different?

It is the mechanical action that separates the Silicone Dynamic Orthotic from any orthotic. It matches the way the foot walks.

Unlike traditional orthotics, which keep your foot in a "fixed" position, the Silicone Dynamic Orthotic moves with your foot, like it's part of it.  The Silicone Dynamic Orthotic cushions your foot, minimizing the motion of the arch as it props it up. Besides comfort, the Silicone Dynamic Orthotic also has the long-term benefit of helping realign your body and slowing down wear and tear throughout.

What causes this wear and tear? The arch moves up and down , hundreds or thousands of footsteps every day and it stretches as far as it can with each step to absorb shock. The arch is the foundation of your body's postural problems. The motion of the arch is called "pronation". It is a very complex motion, and yet in its simplest form, it is nothing more than the arch spreading out as much as it can, being forced to absorb shock. Each time the arch moves, the knees, hips and low back also move. This creates a "postural" problem. The more the musculo-skeletal system moves, the more and quicker it breaks down.

The arch is the "center" of all pronation/postural problems.

You know how you rate dogs lives? About 5 years to our one, well I look at people who ALL wear and tear down like cars.  So, I rate people as 100,000 miles on your body for each ten years of your life, And so the majority of people start to come to me at 400,000-600,000 miles. Some in better shape than others.

The SDO addresses the center of ALL pronation/postural problems by simply being a precise fitting cushion that guides rather than controls each footstep and minimizes the arch from overstretching with each step.

This is what makes the SDO so accurate as an orthosis and yet is so easy and comfortable to wear (in most shoes too). It matches the way you walk. And for those in pain from all those miles, the SDO starts to reverse years of every footstep, restoring health to the tissues and alleviating painful problems.

A traditional orthotic (if you can wear it at all) and over-the-counter supports can only get you "partly better". Contact me if you want to get "completely" better."

 



Plantar Fasciitis - It's Cause

The #1 most common foot problem in the world, AKA heel spurs, heel pain, arch pain, or just sore feet. The underlying condition is a lifetime of accumulated, repetitive overstretching (overpronation) of the arch with every single step.


Three Categories Of Response

  • Commonly called plain sore feet 1/3 will have very quick and profound reversal of symptoms within a few days to 8 weeks. One adjustment may be necessary to fine tune.
  • For many in this category, 6-9 months to being pain free.
  • 1/3 will take a little more time (2-3 months) to feel comfortable on the SDO, but a positive healing response is noted. 1-2 adjustments may be necessary.
  • For many in this category, 1-2 years to being pain free.
  • CHRONIC PROBLEM This is the most difficult category to treat, primarily because the healing process can be painfully sloooow. A minimum of 1-2 years of unsuccessful treatment or neglect will have occurred. Sensory loss and muscle strain over the years will take considerable time to restore flexibility to the small intrinsic muscles of the feet. A minimum of several months to one-two years will be required to obtain near to total relief (and even longer). 6-10 years will be needed to reverse your wear and tear to the health of your soft tissues that occurred from 10-30 years ago. 3-4 adjustments, may be needed just to get comfortable and properly fit.
  • For many in this category, 2-5 years to being pain free.
