Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Footcare Express Integrates Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

The medical staff at FootCare Express is pleased to announce the integration of Platelet Rich Plasma therapy to promote faster healing of soft tissue injuries.

PRP received a lot of Publicity after Pittsburgh Steeler star Hines Ward used the therapy to recover from a nagging knee injury in time to help the Steelers win last year’s Super Bowl. This was not the first use of Platelet Rich Plasma therapy but it certainly created quite a buzz.

The medical community has begun widely using PRP as an alternative to surgery to help in many conditions. The theory is this a patients own blood is used and the platelets are separated in a centrifuge. Once the blood components are separated, the patients own plasma with a high concentrations of platelets is injected into the injured area. It is believed the Platelet Rich Plasma Injection will stimulate healing in conditions such as arthritis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, knee problems, and the strengthening of damaged tendons.

In a nut shell, Platelet Rich Plasma Injections of one’s own platelets have characteristics which encourage the natural healing process. When high concentrations are placed into a specific area, the healing process shows extraordinary results.

A major advantage of this therapy is the low incidence of rejection because the platelets belong to the patient being treated. The reason this is done by direct injection is because most injuries the therapy targets are located in areas with little blood flow, or at least not enough to carry the concentrated platelets to the points they are most beneficial. So their has been minor irritation reported at the injection sites but the results of PRP therapy for outweigh the mild discomfort which may be experienced.

For a detailed discussion of Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy watch the video below, or Call Footcare Express to discuss your treatment options with our medical staff.

IMPACT GEL INSOLES – Billy Mays Pitchmen and IMPACT GEL INSOLES

IMPACT GEL INSOLES – Billy Mays Pitchmen and IMPACT GEL INSOLE
ARCH SUPPORTS

So now that we have all seen Pitchmen on The Discovery Channel and watched Billy Mays and the impact guys smash and squash the impact gel insoles with a hammer and an automobile, what’s your take on Pitchmen?

We were quite sure the impact gel insole material would hold up to any test the Pitchmen carnival barkers could throw at it, but we don’t want anyone out there to think that just because a couple of stooges like the Pitchmen put impact gel insoles on an info-reality show means the product is not legitimate.

The impact gel insoles were featured on Pitchmen because they needed a great product that people would want to buy and our medical professionals are here to tell you exactly why the impact gel insoles are worth every penny.

The Impact Gel material is also utilized by our medical experts when prescribing and designing custom functional and accommodative foot orthotics for their own patients.

The Impact Gel material’s amazing ability to redistribute energy is perfect for incorporating the material into areas of the custom device whereby the foot requires specific and /or additional accommodation.  This can include padding for problems such as Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, AchillesTendoniitis, Shin Splints or Metatarsal relief.

Impact Gel Insoles can also be used to help reduce the shock at heel strike that may cause knee, hip, and backpain.  The outcomes have been extremely positive.

Foot Care is the most important thing to us here but Television runs a close second. Well that’s not really true. We are fitness buffs, but when a hot new show like PitchMen is premiering on the Discovery Channel and one of our products is featured, we suddenly become interested.

So make sure you tune to PicthMen Sunday morning at 11am and watch Billy Mays put our Impact Gel Insoles to the test. He actually loves the product and has taken his act to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and was literally a smash.

PitchMen is a show that promises to put all the claims of “As Seen on TV” products to the test and most won’t fare to well. However, Impact Gel Insoles are a great product used by the leading Podiatrists and Podorthists around the world. In fact, at FootcareExpress we are one of the few companies that feature the same material in our custom foot orthotics as well having a full range of the Inpact Gel Insoles you will in action on The Discovery Channel Tonight.

It’s not our fault that Television has discovered how great Impact Gel Insoles are, and please believe us when we tell you that this is no Inside The Egg Scrambler.

Footcare Express Makes Strides for Feet

MADE TO ORDER: Doctors take foot casts of their patients, which they send to Footcare Express for the manufacturing of orthotics.

You can almost hear the thump, thump of feet striding across the screen at Footcare Express as Charles Mutschler peers at the picture, scrutinizing the gait.

“Here’s one. See how the outside of the foot almost doesn’t touch,” said Mutschler, a podiatrist, as he pointed at a pair of feet that tilt inward over the arch.

Spotting problems in a patient’s gait using video motion analysis is one of the ways the specialists at Footcare Express diagnose and treat foot, leg and muscular-skeletal problems. Mutschler, who is the medical director at Footcare Express, watches a lot of patients’ leg and feet videos.

Besides video analysis, Footcare Express podiatrists also use X-rays and ultrasound to diagnose and treat problems.

Sandwiched between Publix and CVS at a shopping mall in Aventura, Footcare Express places under one roof a retail store, a center for podiatry consultations and a manufacturing site for corrective inserts, which are known as orthotics.

The company is owned by Harold Reinhartz, a podiatrist, and his son Jarett Reinhartz, who is a pedorthist — a specialist who fits and makes correctional inserts or specially fitted shoes.

Podiatry — the treatment of problems of the foot — is a growing business because of the burgeoning demand for corrective inserts to improve sports performance or reduce pain in the feet, legs or even lower back.

WIDESPREAD DEMAND
Those turning to podiatry include top athletes striving for peak performance, weekend runners trying to avoid pain, overweight Americans, fashionistas seeking repairs after a steady foot diet of Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik stilettos and just ordinary people.

The human foot, with its 26 bones, was actually designed to go barefoot and accommodate the ground, not be squeezed into pointy toes or perched on platforms, said Mutschler.

Although people tend to neglect their feet, the number of people turning to podiatry is rising and that’s been good for Footcare Express.

The vertically integrated company was the brainchild of Jarett Reinhartz, who established it six years ago after working in his father’s office and with another set of partners.

His father had podiatry practices in Kissimmee and Winter Park that he sold before moving to South Florida.

Reinhartz said the company’s revenue rose after major insurance companies began to accept claims.

BIG BOOST
“We managed to get on all the major plans and that was a huge, huge plus,” Reinhartz said. The company doubled its revenue last year to about $1 million in annual sales.

“This year we expect to do a lot more than that,” Reinhartz said, adding that a growing part of the company’s business — about 40 percent of revenue — comes from working with sports teams such as the Miami Heat, Florida Marlins and Miami Dolphins on diagnosis, rehabilitation and orthotics.

“We work with the team; the doctors will take their casts and we will manufacture the orthotics,” Reinhartz said.

Besides fabricating orthotics for professional teams all over the country, Footcare Express podiatrists serve the college teams at St. Thomas University and the University of Central Florida. They also have associations with other universities and professional sports teams.

Mutschler said he became interested in the sports work because he did his residency with the team podiatrist for The Heat.

SPREADING THE WORD
The company has tried other marketing techniques, such as attending trade shows and conventions and showing up at the Miami Marathon two years in a row to do screenings.

Reinhartz said many runners are surprised to learn that pain is avoidable. “You should have soreness but not pain,” he said.

Podiatrists treat a range of foot problems, from corns, calluses and ingrown toenails, bunions and fallen arches to the more severe problems of weak feet associated with diabetes or deformities that may require specially made braces or footwear. Footcare Express can take care of all these problems.

Among the conditions that orthotics can help is plantar fasciitis, when the tough connective tissue on the bottom of the foot has been injured so there is pain stepping on the foot.

Footcare Express specializes in specially fabricated orthotics that can run as high as $200 to $500 without insurance.

Some women would like to see less bulky inserts that will offer arch support for heels and when wearing sandals.

Reinhartz said that kind of product would be difficult to make, but added: “The person who invents that will be a very wealthy person.”
