Foot Levelers Kiosk FAQs

1. What are the tools chiropractors use?

Chiropractors today have a large variety of diagnostic and treatment tools at their disposal. These tools range from tried-and-true low-tech options such as ice packs, to the latest high-tech diagnostics, like the Foot Levelers Kiosk.

Perhaps one of the most widely used tools in chiropractic care is the ubiquitous chiropractic table. A good table is a must-have for any chiropractor as it forms the main area for most chiropractic treatments. Of course, many chiropractors choose tables that serve as much more than a surface for patients to lie on during treatment.

In comparison to other chiropractor tools, the table can be quite versatile. For example, tables with drop areas are useful for adjustments of the spine and extremities, while traction tables are excellent for spinal decompression. Some tables even come with extra bells and whistles, such as optional heating elements for thermotherapy.

The activator is also among one of the top tools chiropractors use. This simple mechanical device delivers controlled force in a precise area, allowing the chiropractor to adjust individual vertebrae. Since the force is controlled and buffered by a rubber or polymer coating, activator therapy is also a safe and comfortable option for patients. 

2. What technology do chiropractors use?

The x-ray machine is probably first and foremost among the chiropractic equipment for sale. Radiographs, or x-ray imaging, are non-invasive and safe tools that provide invaluable diagnostic information. With x-ray imaging, chiropractors can discover disk problems, misalignments, and even some soft tissue problems.

Although x-rays have been used in medicine for well over a hundred years, modern x-rays are safer and more effective than ever. These advancements are largely thanks to digital technology. Digital x-rays expose patients to much less radiation than conventional x-rays, eliminate the need for film and developing, and allow chiropractors to “zoom in” on areas of concern.

The TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit has also become one of the more popular chiropractor machines. Adopted by both physical therapists and chiropractors, TENS therapy is an often effective, non-habit-forming option for pain control. As the electrical impulses produced by the unit stimulate nerve pathways, the body is “trained” to disregard continuous pain signals. These benefits make TENS therapy an attractive alternative to pharmacologic pain control.

The Foot Levelers Kiosk is another cutting-edge piece of technology in chiropractic offices. The kiosk scans the patient’s foot, stores the data, offers patient education, recommends appropriate custom orthotics, and can even send the scan to the Foot Levelers laboratory. This all-in-one station is also cloud-based, so that chiropractors can access patient data even when they are not in the office. 

3. How do they scan your foot?

The kiosk is one of the most user-friendly chiropractor machines. Patients can use it on their own without assistance from their chiropractor. The kiosk guides patients step-by-step, beginning with entering basic information. Next, the interactive program will complete a laser scan of the patient’s feet, noting any balance and posture imperfections.

The process is quick, non-invasive, and painless. The kiosk will prepare a report that notes any problems and it also recommends custom orthotics for patients. The information will be kept on file, so that chiropractors can compare scans and check patient progress.

4. Do Foot Levelers really work?

Simply put, yes. As almost every chiropractor already knows, there is a strong link between the feet and the spine. Even if a patient has no foot pain, problems with the feet may contribute to pain and dysfunction in the back, neck, or head. Custom orthotics from Foot Levelers can help correct these problems.

Foot Levelers orthotics are custom-made for each patient. Instead of off-the-shelf generic products, these custom orthotics are made for unique individuals to address their specific issues. Over the years, Foot Levelers custom orthotics have helped millions of patients, and the proof is in our testimonials.

Of course, some patients have physically-demanding jobs that may put them at high risk for chronic pain. Custom orthotics can be particularly beneficial for these individuals, especially if their occupations require standing or walking for many hours each week. Foot Levelers orthotics are not simply cushions that reduce impact. Instead, these next-level orthotics target problem areas to provide support where each patient needs it most.

Custom orthotics were created to assist patients from all walks of life. Whether a patient has slowed down over the years or is highly active, custom orthotics can help improve gait, stance, posture, and balance, while reducing pain levels.
