GaitScan

GaitScan is state of the art hardware and software that helps our Doctor assess and analyze your feet. This new technology has the ability to scan the foot. As you walk across the pressure plate, tiny sensors capture the distribution of pressure of your foot over time. The 2D and 3D visual representations combined with our Doctor’s experience and knowledge reveals abnormal foot function which may affect your feet and/or other parts of your body. If appropriate orthotics may be recommended for your particular health condition.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Kostadopoulos know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
