“I see Dr. Johnson for regular chiropractic treatments and asked him one day about my sore feet. I have advanced bunions and he suggested I try orthotics to keep my bunions from progressing. He took the time to explain how they worked and what I needed to do to help strengthen my feet. The measuring was done in his office and the completed orthotics were available for me in a week! I followed his instructions and my feet and calf muscles are waking up and getting stronger. I would highly recommend talking to Dr. Pat about how custom orthotics could help you. Marilyn O.”
