The
foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and 31 ligaments.
The
average person takes 10,000 – 15,000
steps per day – that is approximately
115,000 miles in a lifetime – enough to circle
the planet four times!
The
feet of a 130 pound individual absorb 500
pounds of pressure with every step. The
impact reaches about five million pounds of pressure
each day!
The
foot is the body’s shock absorber, along with
the knees, hips and discs of the low back. The arch
of the foot functions to absorb 30% shock when the
foot hits the ground.
Years
of standing and walking on concrete cause changes
in the foot that lead to the vast majority of the
foot, ankle, knee, hip and back problems we encounter
today. |
Covered by many health
insurance plans.

Background
& Accomplishments:
Dr. Brian Stutz has been practicing
in Denver since 2001. He joined Dr.
Peter Hanson at
the Cherry Creek Centre for Healing in 2003
with a vision of helping to create a “one
stop shop” for alternative and complimentary
healthcare. Dr. Stutz has developed a diverse
practice with patients ranging in age from seven
months to ninety-three years. He estimates that
approximately fifty percent of his practice
involves cases of lower extremity pain.
Dr.
Stutz has a passion for treating knee, ankle,
and foot pain because he has been personally
affected by these ailments in the past and feels
that they are frequently mismanaged. At a young
age, Dr. Stutz was diagnosed with congenital
fusion in a number of the joints in his feet,
thus limiting the ability of his feet to absorb
shock. This anomaly produced severe knee and
foot pain during prolonged standing, walking,
and running. Upon trying a number of different
treatments, he was finally able to overcome
the symptoms of his condition. Currently, Dr.
Stutz is pain-free, largely due to the methods
of treatment currently employed in his office
today. As a specialist in custom foot orthotic
design, he has helped dozens of patients avoid
hip, knee, and foot surgery. Dr. Stutz has designed
orthotics for members of the Colorado
Avalanche and US
Ski Team.
