I am very excited about this orthotic special. Foot Levelers, our orthotic company has never offered something like this before. Here's the details:
Just 2 days left on the huge Memorial Day special on all reordered orthotics. If you are reordering, you can purchase any new pair of orthotics for $190.00. Normally these range from $220.00 to $320.00 depending on the style. But just for these few days, all reorders are only $190.00. This is a great chance to get a new pair of orthotics or a second pair to minimize shuffling back and forth between shoes. Call right away if you want to take advantage of this as it expires Friday the 28th.
Happy Memorial Day

Vitamin D
Have you been hearing lots of news about vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin? I certainly have. Recently I made a point to ask manyof patients about it and at least half were already taking it! Vitamin D has gotten a lot of attention in the media lately and rightly so. Some studies have indicated that 80% of North Americans are deficient, especially those with dark skin.
Dark skin does not appear to be as efficient in producing vitamin D. Most of us work inside now. In years gone by, many people were engaged in farming and other outdoor activities and received lots of sunshine. Also, the farther north you live, the more likely you are deficient especially, in the winter.
The research is also showing us that vitamin D may be important in preventing many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, the flu, back pain, and arthritis. In fact, a review of vitamin D research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that it's consumption lowered the risk of death from any cause! A report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that post-menopausal women who took at least 1,100 IU of vitamin D per day had reductions in all types of cancer.
Ask us whether vitamin D supplements are appropriate in your case. If you need a supplement, we carry a very good one from the Biotics company. It costs only $19.00 and will last over 6 months for the average person.
