Foot Levelers


Over 50 years ago, Dr. Monte Greenawalt invented a technology to balance the body by balancing the feet, thereby enhancing his patients’ structural integrity. The custom-made orthotics, Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers®, provided structural support, yet allowed the foot to retain a full range of motion. Through independent research and testimonials, the Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers have proven themselves time and again. Foot Levelers is now the leading provider of custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers and other healthcare products.

CCGPP Releases Wellness Chapter Draft

As was announced earlier this month, the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP) is posting the evidence synthesis on "CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROMOTION; NONMUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS; AND CONDITIONS OF THE ELDERLY, CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN—DRAFT" for review and commentary at www.ccgpp.org on September 1, 2007.

The CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF PREVENTIONAND HEALTH PROMOTION; NONMUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS; AND CONDITIONS OF THE ELDERLY, CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN chapter addresses issues of achieving and maintaining wellness through care by chiropractic doctors. It was written by the CCGPP Commission Chair, Cheryl Hawk, DC, PhD, CHES and her team.  The chapter covers the special populations most commonly treated by doctors of chiropractic.  It is the second chapter to be released in the ongoing best practices initiative of the CCGPP, as commissioned by its founding organizations.  This latest chapter utilizes an improved format developed to make the information more user-friendly for the profession; however, it should be noted that this chapter represents only the literature synthesis. Future projects are planned to translate this evidence into useful information for the DC practice to be published in its final form as the Clinical Chiropractic Compass.

The 60-day comment period on this "Wellness" chapter draft begins September1, 2007. Comments should be submitted in an electronic format to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and include a discussion of the conclusions, submission of additional literature for review, and editorial suggestions.

The CCGPP anticipates releasing the "Upper Extremity" evidence synthesis on October 1 2007, for its 60-day review and comment period. Additional chapters will follow thereafter.  The "Low Back" evidence synthesis was the first chapter released in May 2006. That chapter is currently being revised based on the feedback received during its commentary period, and it will be re-released for review later this year.

Thank you for your participation in the comment period, as well is your continued support of the CCGPP's iterative best practices process.
