Why Invest in PowerStep Products for Your Office
Many of you reading this already use PowerStep® orthotics for your patients. By having PowerStep products in your practice, you start your patients on the road to healing before they leave your office. Investing in PowerStep orthotics for your practice also helps you avoid dealing with insurance reimbursements. There is no need for a DME number or worrying about Medicare.
Along with PowerStep orthotic insoles, there are many other PowerStep products that could be beneficial to your practice. Let’s recap some information about the different types of orthotics PowerStep has to offer before we talk about some of the other items you should stock in your office.
Using PowerStep Orthotics in Your Practice
There are a variety of conditions PowerStep orthotic insoles can treat. From pronation to heel pain, the ProTech® orthotic provides the stability your patients need. You can also treat patients suffering from metatarsalgia by adding in metatarsal dispersion cushioning.
The orthotics also help put patients into a neutral alignment, which will relieve joint pain. When patients are more neutral, ankle or back pains start to subside. Since many patients fail to shop at sneaker stores that provide education in the proper shoe for their foot type, having the proper orthotics is extremely important.
Adding In Orthotic Footwear
Patients are not always in their sneakers with their orthotics. You may need a solution for controlling the foot depending on what the patient is doing, such as going to the beach or walking barefoot. What can you offer those patients so they can continue to get relief from foot pain?
PowerStep sandals and slippers provide the same type of arch control that your patients find in their orthotics. The patients foot type doesn’t change just because they are not wearing their sneakers. If they are going to the beach, PowerStep sandals help provide the same type of control as their orthotics. When patients are walking around their house barefoot, PowerStep orthotic slippers also provide a level of control.
Other PowerStep Products for Your Office
Let’s talk about the patient who is overcoming a severe ankle sprain and wants to get back to their activity. The Dynamic Ankle Support Sock or DASS will provide that patient with the compression, support and comfort they need to return to activity with a device they can use every day. The unique design will let your patients use the sock with any shoe or sneaker, allowing them to seamlessly go from work to sports.
Other items, such as compression sleeves or stockings, help those patients who have venous insufficiency or mild lymphedema to get the compression and relief they need.
If you just can’t find the right orthotic insole for your patients, PowerStep also has accessories that let you customize existing orthotics. These accessories include added heel lifts, metatarsal pads, arch boosters and dispersion cushioning for IPKs.
PowerStep offers a variety of products for treating various conditions. Investing in PowerStep orthotics, footwear, and accessories for your office has many benefits for you and your patients.
