TAMPA, Fla. – September is Pain Awareness Month, and MediScan Custom Orthotics, a Florida-based tech company, is taking the opportunity to highlight their breakthrough mobile application and technology, which now offers a solution for many who are suffering with foot, knee, hip and back pain.
According to the CDC, 1-in-5 Americans contend with chronic pain, including many who suffer from pain caused by improper foot alignment.
In August, Tampa tech-company MediScan Custom Orthotics launched their revolutionary mobile application, which improves access to custom orthotics by eliminating excess costs. Through MediScan, anyone with an IOS device can scan their foot and order custom, high quality, foot-hugging, medical-grade orthotics in a matter of minutes. These custom orthotics can significantly aid in providing pain relief by improving posture and encouraging a proper gait.
Improper foot alignment can lead to various problems such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet, and general foot discomfort. These conditions often result in pain that extends beyond the feet, impacting overall mobility and quality of life.
MediScan ‘s advanced technology addresses these problems by simplifying the custom orthotics process. Through the MediScan app, available on iPhone and iPad, users can perform a precise scan of their feet using the device’s Lidar technology without waiting to see a doctor. This innovative approach eliminates the need for a traditional in-person consultation, enabling individuals to obtain effective pain relief from the comfort of their home.
The app guides users through an easy scanning process, which captures detailed foot measurements. The data is then sent to MediScan’s podiatry experts who review and analyze the custom scans remotely. These experts use 3D modeling to create custom orthotics designed specifically for each individual to correct their alignment issues, with the goal of alleviating pain.
Custom orthotics are crucial in managing and relieving pain associated with foot alignment problems. Studies have shown that orthotics can enhance foot alignment, provide targeted support, and reduce stress on the feet, ankles, knees, and lower back. By addressing arch problems and pressure distribution, custom orthotics offer a personalized solution that off-the-shelf options like Dr. Scholl’s inserts cannot match. MediScan’s technology not only improves the accuracy of orthotic design but also ensures users receive a product tailored to their individual needs.
Pain Awareness Month, led by the U.S. Pain Foundation, seeks to increase awareness about chronic pain and promote effective management strategies. MediScan’s technology stands out as a significant advancement in pain management. By integrating cutting-edge technology with expert care, MediScan is making it easier for individuals to effectively and conveniently manage foot pain and related issues. This innovative approach aligns with Pain Awareness Month’s goals by improving access to essential pain management tools and enhancing the quality of life for those affected by chronic pain.
The concept for MediScan came about during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Dr. Bret Brennan and Dr. Anh Nguyen, podiatrists and co-founders of Healthy Feet Podiatry, saw a drastic decline in patients coming to their practice in-person. They began to think about how to deliver reliable custom orthotics to patients, without those patients having to leave their homes. After a couple of years of mobile application development and testing, along with honing the craft of making custom shoe implants using 3D scanning technology, MediScan was officially launched.
