"I'm Dr. Gabe Rodriguez. I'm practicing here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I've been practicing for 22 years in the foot and ankle arena as a podiatrist.
The old dodge that if your feet hurt, you hurt all over. And it's really true because there isn't a replaceable pair of feet. There's actually a lot of lot of reasons why a person would need an orthotic. One of the ways that I would know would be if they come in and they have say painful lesions under their feet and they've tried trimming it or they've tried wearing pads and nothing really takes care of the problem long-term. It might give them a day or two of relief doing that.
But if you get them in the office and you put 'em in a pair of insoles that has accommodations to those places where they're having the pain and then they walk out and they're like, oh, my feet feel so much better just wearing these insoles.
It's just simple things such as just having callouses in the bottom of the feet which is an indication of excessive pressure in those areas can, can be a simple fix with a good orthotic. I've had the opportunity to try this brand called SolesRX that has really been impressive.
I don't carry any other over-the-counter brand. The only one I carry is SolesRX.
The main reason I carry it is because it has materials built into it that allows me to be able to accommodate areas in the patient's foot to give them the relief they need right off right as they leave the office. When it comes to over the counter or pre-fabricated or ortho, you can get to the patient the day they come see you.
I believe this is the best orthotic there is because I can do so much with it. And there's several different soles RX prescriptions based on what I see wrong with the patient's foot. So it gives me that versatility that you need in the office because you treat so many different problems, you can't address every problem with one orthotic.
My name is Dr. Gabe Rodriguez, and I endorse SolesRX orthotics."
