Foot Levelers Announces First-Ever Founder’s Edition PracticeXcelerator Workshop for Chiropractors
Foot Levelers, a global leader in custom stabilizing orthotics, has announced its first-ever Founder’s Edition event, an expanded educational and professional development program designed specifically for chiropractors. The two-day event is scheduled to take place October 24–25, 2026, at the company’s headquarters and will feature renowned chiropractic educators Dr. Ronald Oberstein and Dr. Brian Jensen.
The special event will combine Foot Levelers’ established PracticeXcelerator program with continuing education opportunities, hands-on demonstrations, expert instruction, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the company’s manufacturing facility. The program is intended to give chiropractors practical tools and strategies for incorporating advanced scanning technology and custom orthotics into patient assessment and clinical practice.
The Founder’s Edition represents an expanded version of Foot Levelers’ traditional PracticeXcelerator experience. Rather than limiting the program to a half-day session, the company is extending the educational opportunity into a complimentary two-day workshop. The event will focus on helping chiropractic professionals strengthen clinical protocols, improve patient communication, and develop approaches for integrating orthotic care into their practices.
A major component of the workshop will be education around the relationship between foot function, posture, alignment, and the musculoskeletal system. Participants will learn how modern scanning and assessment technologies can provide additional information when evaluating patients and developing individualized care strategies.
Advanced Technology and Patient Assessment
One of the key technologies attendees will have the opportunity to experience is the Foot Levelers Posture Check 3D® scanner. The system combines digital scanning and assessment capabilities to provide chiropractors with a more comprehensive view of a patient’s feet and posture.
According to Foot Levelers, the scanner captures approximately 410,000 data points related to a patient’s feet and posture. The technology is designed to provide detailed three-dimensional information that can help practitioners evaluate factors such as foot asymmetry, arch function, pronation, and overall postural alignment.
The system also incorporates specialized measurements intended to support clinical discussions. The Pronation Stability Index™ is used to evaluate aspects of pronation and foot stability, while the Tech Neck Index™ uses three-dimensional posture data to help identify forward head posture and potential postural stress.
For chiropractors, the technology can provide a visual and data-driven way to discuss assessment findings with patients. Instead of relying solely on verbal explanations, practitioners can use digital reports and scan results to illustrate potential alignment and biomechanical concerns.
The workshop will provide attendees with an opportunity to see the scanning technology in action and understand how the resulting information can be incorporated into everyday practice. The educational sessions will focus not only on performing assessments but also on interpreting the information and translating findings into effective patient conversations.
Building Stronger Chiropractic Protocols
A central objective of the Founder’s Edition is to help chiropractors develop more consistent and effective clinical protocols. Attendees will learn from doctors who actively prescribe orthotics in their own practices, giving participants access to practical experience that can be applied beyond the classroom.
Through expert-led tutorials and discussions, chiropractors will explore strategies for evaluating patients, identifying appropriate candidates for orthotic care, and incorporating prescription orthotics into broader chiropractic treatment plans.
The program is also designed to address the business side of clinical practice. Chiropractic professionals will have opportunities to learn approaches that may help strengthen patient engagement, improve communication, encourage referrals, and support practice growth.
Foot Levelers says chiropractors who have participated in its PracticeXcelerator events have reported improvements in their practices, including growth, better patient outcomes, and increased referrals. The Founder’s Edition builds on that model by providing additional time for education, hands-on learning, networking, and interaction with industry professionals.
The extended format is intended to give attendees more opportunities to understand how orthotic services can become part of a comprehensive approach to chiropractic care.
Continuing Education Opportunity
For chiropractors seeking continuing education, the event will also offer an optional opportunity to earn seven continuing education hours for $149. The educational component will feature Dr. Ronald Oberstein and Dr. Brian Jensen, who will address a range of topics relevant to chiropractic professionals and orthotic care.
The speakers will discuss subjects ranging from the broader role of chiropractic care in promoting healthier communities to the neurology associated with orthotics. These sessions are intended to expand practitioners’ understanding of how the feet and lower extremities can influence movement, posture, neurological function, and musculoskeletal health.
The presence of experienced clinicians is expected to provide participants with perspectives that connect academic concepts with real-world chiropractic practice. By learning from professionals who work directly with patients and orthotic interventions, attendees can gain insights into how assessment findings can influence clinical decision-making.
Behind-the-Scenes Manufacturing Experience
Another distinguishing feature of the Founder’s Edition will be an exclusive tour of Foot Levelers’ manufacturing facility. The behind-the-scenes experience will give attendees an opportunity to learn more about the processes involved in producing custom stabilizing orthotics.
For chiropractors who regularly prescribe orthotic products, understanding how custom devices are developed and manufactured can provide additional context when discussing treatment options with patients. The facility tour will offer participants a closer look at the company’s operations and the technology and processes supporting its custom orthotic products.
Combining the manufacturing tour with clinical education creates a broader learning experience. Attendees can explore the connection between patient assessment, prescription decisions, customized orthotic design, and the final product.
Improving Patient Communication
Patient communication will also be an important part of the workshop. Chiropractors will learn how to interpret digital assessment reports and explain the findings to patients in a clear and understandable manner.
Effective communication can be particularly important when introducing patients to orthotic recommendations. Visual information from three-dimensional scans may help practitioners demonstrate differences in foot function, posture, or alignment and explain why an individualized orthotic approach may be appropriate.
The program will provide guidance on communicating assessment results and discussing orthotic prescriptions as part of an overall care strategy. The goal is to help chiropractors build greater understanding and engagement among their patients.
Foot Levelers also highlights potential benefits associated with maintaining adjustments and addressing biomechanical factors through orthotic support. The company states that its orthotics are designed to help hold chiropractic adjustments longer and may reduce back pain by as much as 34%.
Supporting the Chiropractic Profession
Overall, the Founder’s Edition is positioned as more than a traditional educational seminar. By bringing together continuing education, clinical instruction, technology demonstrations, business development strategies, networking, and a manufacturing tour, Foot Levelers aims to create a comprehensive experience for chiropractic professionals.
The October 24–25 event at Foot Levelers’ headquarters will give attendees the opportunity to interact with experienced practitioners, explore advanced assessment technology, learn about custom orthotics, and gain practical knowledge that can be incorporated into their practices.
For chiropractors interested in expanding their clinical capabilities while also exploring opportunities for practice development, the two-day Founder’s Edition provides a focused environment for professional learning. The combination of hands-on demonstrations and expert-led education is intended to help participants better understand the role of foot function and posture within chiropractic care.
The event also reflects the growing emphasis on technology-supported patient assessment. Digital scanning systems can provide practitioners with detailed information that may complement traditional clinical evaluations. By learning how to interpret and communicate this information effectively, chiropractors can potentially create more informed conversations with patients about posture, alignment, foot function, and orthotic support.
With Dr. Ronald Oberstein and Dr. Brian Jensen leading educational sessions, an optional seven-hour continuing education program, access to the Posture Check 3D scanner, and a tour of Foot Levelers’ manufacturing operations, the Founder’s Edition is designed to bring multiple aspects of chiropractic practice together in a single weekend.
Foot Levelers’ initiative ultimately seeks to support chiropractors in enhancing their clinical knowledge, refining patient assessment protocols, improving communication, and exploring ways orthotic care can complement chiropractic services. Through its expanded PracticeXcelerator format, the company is providing practitioners with an opportunity to learn directly from experienced clinicians and industry professionals while gaining firsthand exposure to the technology and manufacturing processes behind its custom stabilizing orthotics.
