Theta-Orthotics offers relief and treatment for chronic back pain at a level not available from any other source. Clearly, the way we walk causes unwanted rotation of the legs with a forward pelvic tilt with every step we take. Avoid unnecessary surgery, decrease adjustment needs, minimize medications, stand up straighter with less back pain, walk better, and feel younger.
Recognize the relationship between spinal curvature, lumbar disc disease, and foot function. My personal research, along with hundreds of other orthotic laboratories and over 300 different patents, documents the relationship between foot function and back pain..
Theta-Orthotics define in mathematical terms the relationship between foot function and back pain.. Many signs and symptoms associated with back problems resolve with increasing theta control. Angular (theta) control can now be quantified and evaluated clinically. Theta measurements relate directly to the change in foot control observed with use of any foot control device and the symptoms associated with lumbar disc disease.
Theta relates directly with the ability of any device, custom orthotic, arch supporting/foot controlling shoe modification or insert constructed from any material, by any means of fitting or fabrication, to change foot function with weight-bearing use. With more theta corrections to offer, Theta-Orthotics will take away more back pain than any other orthotic or treatment you can buy.

Lumbar disc disease, herniated vertebral discs, muscle spasms, pinched nerves, sacroiliac pain and general back pain can be either caused by or aggravated by the way you walk. Often, many patients have a history of trauma that is believed to be the cause of their back problems. Certainly, trauma may have originally precipitated the problem but why doesn’t it heal up with time rather than getting worse and worse? Why does your pain frequently feel better immediately after a chiropractic adjustment and then by the time you walk down the hall and out to your car, the pain returns.?
Why is it that even with lots of exercise and regular physical or massage therapy, back pain progressively worsens? Why is back pain worse on the day after you spent an increased amount of time on your feet? Why do you keep taking more and more medication with diminishing relief of your back pain? Why do invasive surgical procedures often give little to no relief from your pain? Why does pain eventually return even following “successful” back surgery?
It shroud be obvious that if every time you stand and walk you apply forces that make the spine more crooked and put excessive pressure on the vertebrae, nerves, and muscles of the back, any value associated with exercise and therapy will be minimized to the point that problems just get worse.
Until you address the forces placed on your back with every step you take, it is virtually impossible to stabilize or decrease progressive back problems When foot function is changed with angular corrections between 10 and 40 degrees, it is possible to gradually relieve over 90 percent of the forces that cause chronic back pain.

How does Theta Work?
|
|
|
|
The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone, the leg bone’s connected to the hip bone, the hip bone’s connected to the back... If you can understand this simple concept, you can understand how every step you take aggravates your back, creating stress and inflammation of the joints, discs, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
|
|
|
|
How do orthotics work? They control foot function and stop pronation, decrease internal rotation of the leg, reduce the forward tilt of the pelvis, and decrease the curvatures of the back. This takes the stress off and reduces inflammation of all anatomical structures in the back area. This decreases chronic Back Pain.

- Every 5 degrees of Theta doubles the benefit of the device.
- Theta-Orthotics now in seven different corrections (10-40), have 20 degrees more theta, and stop 4 times as much back pain.
- Theta-Orthotics are made from a durable, supportive, shock-absorbing Urethane Rubber.
- This unique rubber design works better and in more shoe types than any other orthotic you can buy.

All other orthotics have 20 degrees or Less theta correction. Good supportive shoes have 5 degrees of theta support Birkinstock Sandals have about 10 degrees of theta support. Phase IV and Foot Levelers have about 10-15 degrees of theta support Prescription orthotics have between 15 and 20 degrees of theta support. Alzner orthotics have 22-23 degrees!
Theta-Orthotics provide treatment levels from gentle and supportive to aggressively successful
More Theta Correction = Less Back Pain

Foot function, changes knee and hip function, then it takes the pressure off of your spine.

20 years of my personal clinical research and over 300 other patents over the last 200 years document the relationship between foot, knee, and hip function, pelvic tilt, and ultimately spinal curvature or posture. My research records indicate that every 5 degrees of theta has the potential to significantly change foot function , including the way you walk and stand. The theta-orthotics choice is not whether or not improving ones' foot function will benefit posture and decrease pain, but how much correction is best to start with, then how much more do you need and want over time to resolve your problems as best as possible.

This custom fitted orthotic is manufactured with the aid of mathematical formulas and measurements taken from an impression of your feet.
The prescribed correction level (theta) for you to start at, is determined by your age, activity level, previous use of orthotics, and general arch characteristics.
Our orthotics are made from a durable, shock-absorbing rubber that supports all three arches of the foot and fits in most all types of shoes, including many sandals.
Theta-Orthotics control foot function and reduce pain related to walking and standing up to 400 percent better than any other foot control device available anywhere in the world.

Postural Restructuring: The process of change in body posture from birth to death.
Theta-orthotics come in seven different correction levels. 10 and 15 degree arch supports and 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40-degree custom theta-orthotics. Quantified theta treatment significantly improves medical conditions previously unresponsive to biomechanical/orthotic control. Conditions such as Heel Spur Syndrome, Morton's Neruoma, Achilles tendonitis, Posterior tibial tendonitis, and plantar faschiitis, all frequently observed in a podiatrists office, responded so well that the need for surgical treatment decreased from as much as 65 percent to less than 5 percent.
Long-term treatment with theta correction levels between 30 and 40 degrees changes foot and lower leg function so dramatically that noticeable resolution of chronic knee pain and or back pain is frequently observed.
Treatment with angular correction measured between 30 and 40 degrees of theta causes changes in spinal posture and positioning at levels higher than any other treatment or technique known to man. Over time, these changes in forces on posture result in straighter spinal alignment with a measurable decrease in spinal curvatures. Long-term, high level theta treatment changes the vectors of the forces applied by gravity to the human body and creates spontaneous adjustments and micro-alignments of the spine. Ultimately, these changes in spinal position are believed to be responsible for the many systemic changes observed.
Twenty years of basic and clinical research document postural benefits with straighter spinal alignment than can be observed with any other posture control treatment or technique. A general "healing" of many chronic conditions related to body function and posture were recorded and believed to be related to the change in foot function defined mathematically as Theta.

Every 5 degrees of Theta doubles the benefit of the device. Theta-Orthotics, now in seven different corrections (10-40), have 20 degrees more theta and stop 4 times as much back pain.
Theta-Orthotics are made from a durable, supportive, shock-absorbing Urethane Rubber. This unique rubber design works better and in more shoe types than any other orthotic you can buy.
With seven quantified levels of theta to choose from, we can start the Treatment Program with gentle support at 10 or 15 degrees of theta or aggressive functional control at 25-30 degrees.. Once a patient fully adjusts to his or her starting correction, most want and need more help. If the patient doesn’t get additional correction, most will soon determine that the treatment is of little benefit and quit. Patients with high arches often feel like they need far more support than they can get in other 20-degree orthotics. Even low arch patients quit because they don't get enough correction eventually. What most patients need are more theta options. They need a treatment program that will start them out at a comfortable theta level, then progressively increase theta correction until the desired benefit is reached. The most likely cause of failure with this treatment is the perception that it can be done with one level of correction over a short period of time. Some patients may benefit from a device that provides modest support for three or more years , and we have one of those to accommodate that patient; but only we can offer you a progressive treatment program. Your Personal Theta treatment program will be most successful if it has lots of theta options.
A comprehensive Posture Treatment Program with seven levels of correction to chose from would ideally provide you with one custom fitted orthotic at your optimal starting correction, then another one every 5 degrees, all the way up to where you want your treatment to stop. This could take 4-7 different orthotics to get from your starting theta correction to a theoretically optimal correction of 40 degrees theta. A complete treatment program would keep your existing measurements on hand, digitally, and could mill a new orthoic at any correction level at any subsequent time. A comprehensive treatment program would be with you every step you take for the rest of your life and would be durable and economical. It would let each patient increase theta at his or her own pace. It would provide both medical and technical support with licensed physicians and/or clinical assistants. We have Theta Treatment Programs that start from 168 dollars.
