Tired of Being Tired – Part Two

Are you tired of being tired?

A study involving 122 New York City Police Department officers may help shed some light on why you are so tired. This study was performed to determine if anything could be done to help people who work on their feet all day. Police officers were excellent subjects for this study because they spend large amounts of time standing or walking on hard surfaces.

Prior to the study, one-fifth of the officers reported having foot pain on a regular basis, 15% had calluses, corns, or athlete’s foot and 18% had sought treatment for foot problems in the past.

The New York police officers were fit for insoles to see if the orthotics would help decrease fatigue and foot symptoms. The officers walked an average of three miles per day during the five-week study.

After the five-week study the officers reported a significant reduction in tiredness in their feet at the end of their long work day and 68% reported having less foot pain.

Perry Hall Chiropractic and Physical Therapy uses the same type of elastomeric polymer based orthotics used in this study so if you suffer from tiredness or foot pain call for a free consultation to see if you can be helped. Why suffer any longer and be tired of being tired?
