Quinte Assessment and Treatment Group

Other Services Offered

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are molded specifically to your feet and are helpful in treating many conditions of the foot, knee, hip and lower back. Specific conditions such as hip pain, knee pain, runner’s foot, shin splints, bunions and a host of other foot and lower limb conditions can be helped with orthotics. Custom orthotics can also be helpful with low back pain by reducing foot pronation and pelvic tilt which is seen in many low back pain syndromes. These are worn inside your shoe and are not simple generic over the counter food arches but are custom fitted to your feet. Our orthotics are of the highest quality and are priced very reasonably at only $350. These are covered by most extended health care plans.

Decompression Therapy - Herniated Disc

Independent Scientific Research Says:

“In a recent study of 219 patients with herniated discs and degenerative disc disease, 86 percent who completed the therapy showed immediate improvement and resolution to their symptom; 92 percent improved overall”

-Glonis T, Groteke E, Spinal Decompression. Orth Tech Review 5(6):36-39 Nov-Dec 2003

“We consider decompression therapy to be a primary treatment for low back pain associated with lumbar disc herniation, degenerative disc disease and decreased spine mobility. We believe that post-surgical patients with persistent pain or “failed back syndrome” should not be considered candidates for further surgery until a trial of reasonable trial of decompression has been tried”

-Gose E, Naguszewski W, Naguszewski R. Vertebral Axial Decompression Therapy for pain associated with herniated or degenerated discs or facet syndrome: an outcome study. J Neuro research 20(4) 186-90 April 1998

“Successful reduction of intradiscal pressure with decompression therapy represents a technological advance”
