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.

June 2007 - CCGPP Responds to Canadian Whiplash Study

June 28, 2007

CCGPP Response to Release of Canadian Whiplash Study

By Dr. Ronald J. Farabaugh, CCGPP Secretary

Recently a study supported by Health Canada, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario, and the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (1) was released concerning whiplash injury and the results of early intervention.  The conclusion of the study would lead one to believe that virtually any treatment would not only be ineffective, but actually delay recovery.  A thorough analysis was conducted by Dr. Michael Freeman (2) (see below) in response to the Canadian study.  We recommend reading his critique and drawing your own conclusions concerning the science, logic, and conclusions presented in this controversial paper.  The conclusions presented by the authors of the Canadian study will be debated for years, and more research is needed concerning whiplash/soft tissue injury.  In the meantime, we are very concerned about the potential inappropriate reaction of the third party payor industry to this isolated study, which could adversely affect patient care.

What's Up With the CCGPP?
By Dr. Mark D. Dehen

So whatever happened to the CCGPP and their best practices initiative? Things have been pretty quiet in the land of evidence base care since the COCSA convention in Baltimore last year. Has the initiative lost momentum?
