Back pain strikes nearly 80 percent of all adults at some point and many suffer from chronic back pain.  Even though we spend millions of dollars trying to relieve the pain, its causes are still not fully understood.  According to Australian Podiatrist Phillip Vasyli chronic back pain while standing on hard surfaces can be an indication of problems that stem from the arch of your foot.  In this Back Pain Video he demonstrates how excess pronation of the foot caused by fallen arches affects other parts of the body, including your lower back.

In cases where this is the issue a good Orthotic insert or Orthotic sandal can dramatically reduce the tension experienced in the low to mid back.  If orthotics are going to be a solution, customers will usually notice results within the first few weeks of wearing them.  The initial break in period is about a week to 10 days where your feet adjust to wearing them.  During this time you may want to start out wearing them for only a few hours at a time.  D-Med Inc. offers a full 90 day satisfaction guarantee, so that will give you more than enough time to see if orthotics will help with your back problems.

There are several different types of orthotic inserts to choose from as well as several sandals and flip flops.  Each is designed to work best with whatever shoe or activity for which you want to use them.
