Orthotic Revolution
A new high-tech foot analysis system that includes a built-in patient database, clinical reporting and electronic ordering has won the Masters Circle “Product of the Year” award for 2002.
The FAS Scan from Foot Levelers employs digital accuracy to create an orthotic casting kit, and then uses built-in technology to deliver the patient’s information via the Internet to Foot Leveler’s laboratory. The FAS Scan information allows Foot Levelers to obtain the same 16 measurements they glean from a casting kit in order to design their Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers.
Foot Levelers has revolutionized orthotics selection and ordering with its latest technology called FAS Scan and so we are naming it the Product of the Year,” says Dr. Larry Markson, co-founder of The Masters Circle, the Identity-Based Personal and Professional Development company that serves doctors of chiropractic worldwide. “The FAS Scan establishes your practice with that progressive edge, improving patient impression and retention,” says Markson. “This is one of the most innovative advances in chiropractic care for years.”
