BV Foot Clinic: Insurance May Foot the Bill for Custom Orthotics



                                                  Insurance May Foot the Bill for Custom Orthotics

Spring is here, and you’re ready to get back to outdoor fun; but chronic foot pain can really interfere with your plans. Whether it’s caused by too much walking, or from flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or other conditions, shoe inserts can truly help; but not the kind sold in stores. Indeed, our custom-fit orthotics are best, as we design them just for you, based on your foot type, gait, joint motion, muscle strength, age, and activity level. Besides letting you walk in comfort, they'll help prevent injuries; and, as they’re prescribed by a certified podiatrist, your insurance company may even foot the bill.

BV Foot Clinic: Tennis Elbow, Anyone?



                                                      Tennis Elbow, Anyone? 

As the weather warms, some people will resume their favorite outdoor sports, while others try their hands at new activities; but if they're strenuous, they can try a lot more than just hands. For example, the repeated twisting forearm motions required to play tennis can inflame the elbows' ligaments, and lead to tissue deterioration, causing lateral epicondylitis (a.k.a. tennis elbow); but we have a quick fix. With Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), we apply tiny shock waves to the affected areas, to induce the healing process. So, call us at the first sign of discomfort, as it’d be a shame to let a little pain interfere with your game.
