Many podiatrists and health professionals reading this article already use PowerStep® ProTech® orthotics for their patients. By having PowerStep products in your practice, you start your patients on the road to healing before they leave your office. Investing in orthotics for your practice also helps you avoid dealing with insurance reimbursements.

Along with PowerStep orthotic insoles, there are many other PowerStep products that could be beneficial to your practice. Let’s recap some of the different types of orthotics PowerStep has to offer before discussing 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 help treat. From pronation to heel pain, PowerStep’s line of ProTech orthotics for medical professionals provide the stability your patients need. You can also treat patients suffering from metatarsalgia using insoles with metatarsal dispersion cushioning.

The orthotics also help put patients into a more neutral alignment, which can relieve joint, ankle, and back pain. Since many patients don't shop at shoe stores that provide education in the proper shoe for their foot type, having the proper orthotics is extremely important.

Adding In Orthotic Footwear

Patients will not always be wearing their orthotics and sneakers. 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 orthotic 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 lets patients wear the sock with any shoe or sneaker, allowing them to seamlessly go from work to sports.

Other items, such as PowerStep’s compression sleeves or stockings, help patients who have conditions like venous insufficiency or mild lymphedema get the compression they need to relieve symptoms.

Struggling to find the right orthotic insole for your patients? PowerStep also has accessories that let you customize their existing orthotic insoles. These accessories include added heel lifts, metatarsal pads, arch boosters and IPK ball of foot cushions that let you address certain pain points.

Bringing PowerStep Products to Your Practice

PowerStep offers a variety of products for treating various conditions from medical grade orthotics to over-the-counter orthotic insoles like PowerStep Pinnacle® orthotics. As a podiatrist, foot and ankle surgeon, or primary care provider, investing in PowerStep products for your office has many benefits for you and your patients.
