Manual therapeutic treatment in combination with shoe inlays

摘要

Functional differences in leg length and blocked joints in the spine and pelvic ring can be treated by various manual therapeutic procedures. Some patients require repeated therapy after some weeks or months and these patients often show different abrasion patterns of the soles of the shoes. In these cases the cause of the recurring complaints must be considered. Special inlays may help to avoid false static conditions of the feet, pelvic ring and spine which are referred to as functional differences in leg length. A total of 46 patients were treated by special inlays and in 19 cases the complaints disappeared completely, in 23 cases the frequency of treatment was reduced and the different abrasions of the shoe soles also disappeared.
