  • Medical Equipment

    • Hapad Sport Inserts
      these arch supports are fabulous to treat many issues of the lower extremities, provide comfortable arch and midfoot support, and are great in sneakers, Ugg's, whatever
    • Hapad 3/4 length inserts
      Want good arch support but wear a smaller shoe? These fit in dress shoes, boots, loafers, etc
    • Hip Spica Wrap
      have a groin strain or hip flexor issue? try this wrap
    • Turf Toe support
      These inserts are great for Turf Toe or other issues in the foot that do better with more support in the front of the shoe. Order appropriate size, GENTLY peel off steel plate on side you don't need, flip it over, attach to affected side (duct tape/glue)
    • Shoe Balancer
      Wearing a walking boot? Is it throwing you gait off? Try this to help even out the bigger heel. Wear this over a shoe on the good side.
    • Band-IT Elbow tendonitis brace
      my favorite brace/support for patients with tennis elbow or golfer's elbow.

  • Footwear

    Did Dr. Smith yell at you about those flat shoes or certain company's cheap, flat flipflops? Try these instead

  • Sports Performance Apparel

    • Intelliskin
      Are you a Slouchapotamus? Try these for posture support and re-education. Helps fight slumped shoulders.
    • 110%PlayHarder
      Wide line of compression sleeves for performance, recovery, icing. Use promo code "smithmed" at checkout (without the ") to SAVE 10% and get FREE SHIPPING.

  • Braces and other equipment

  • Ergonomic Equipment

    Products that help combat overuse conditions related to work and computer use
    • Wireless mouse/trackball
      This is great to avoid overuse from scrolling, clicking, tapping the built in trackpad on your laptop. Ergonomic design fits hand, and trackball eliminates the need for a large footprint of space needed to use typical wireless mouse.
    • Wireless headset
      Use your cell phone a lot? Free up your hands and drive safer with this headset. There are newer, more expensive models, but this particular one has served me well for many years
    • Dragon Naturally Speaking for PC
      Type a lot? Dragon is probably the best, I use it and love it. This is PC version.
    • Dragon Naturally Speaking for Mac
      Mac version. Yes Mac OS X comes w/ built in dictation, but I don't think it is as good as Dragon.
