Treating a biomechanical problem is accomplished by analyzing a patients posture and structural defects that are causing their bodies to compensate.

This can lead to problems like shin splints, lower back pain, arthritis, achy legs, sore feet, knees and hips and even nerve and skin conditions.

He utilizes computerized readouts to craft customized orthotics and utilizes computerized gate assessments to stabilize patients suffering from equilibrium problems. He combines lab results and x-rays to diagnose major conditions such as arthritis and diabetes.
