the focus of how
we can make a

This is an introduction to X–rays. What we
observe on the outside can be verified by the
x-ray findings. More importantly what may
not be obvious to the observer is the causal
effect on the relation to the bones of the
foot. Together we will look at common foot
deformities through the eyes of an x-ray. The
bony anatomy of the foot will be reviewed
in detail. Understanding the mechanics
of the foot will help with achieving the
desired pedorthic outcome. Learning the
nomenclatures of x-rays will enhance your
communication with the prescribing physician
"It’s all about listening and helping people
every step of the way."
