I use the Footmaxx Orthotic System, which uses computerized, dynamic, weight-bearing data instead of a static, non-weight bearing mold of the shape of the foot, which is key to making truly effective orthotics, because it's not the shape of the foot that causes the problem; it's how the foot functions while bearing weight.

When digitized patient scan data is received at the Footmaxx manufacturing facility, a detailed Gait Analysis and Pressure Report is generated. Footmaxx prescription foot orthotics are then custom crafted for each patient.
Orthotics are covered by most insurance plans because insurance companies know the value of orthotic therapy in the prevention and treatment of many conditions that can lend to short-term or even long-term disability claims.
Footmaxx computerized prescription orthotics currently in use by many professional sports teams allowing their athletes to function more effectively while also minimizing their risk of injury. 29 out of 30 Major League Baseball teams and 13 National Football League teams wear Footmaxx orthotics.

I have used Theraband latex bands for the last ten years and have found them to be superior to similar products. They are a good value for my patients and they hold their elasticity better than other brands. Theraband latex bands come in a variety of resistances to assist everyone from the geriatric patient to the elite athlete. I also recommend buying the plastic handles to make the bands easier to grip. I have my patients take these on vacation, when they will not have access to a gym facility.

Metagenics has more clinical research behind their products than any other nutritional company. They do double-blind studies before they release products and quality test all of their ingredients. I toured the facility and was impressed with the magnitude of the operation, attention to detail, and cleanliness. If you have any questions about what product to prescribe you can talk to a clinician for guidance. I have tried other brands, but have received more positive feedback from patients on Metagenics products.
