Hike Medical

Today marks Hike Medical's second Birthday! Two years ago, my co-founders and I uncovered a vital truth: almost a third of all musculoskeletal (MSK) claims originate from the lower extremities. Immediately, we set out to transform foot health by making custom insoles accessible from any device. We recognized that poor foot health is a fundamental root cause of MSK pain and disorders. By helping employers address this issue proactively, we enable them to shift MSK treatment upstream. This approach prevents the progression to higher-acuity conditions and reduces cost. In the time since, we’ve built one of the largest FDM 3D print farms in the country and served tens of thousands of Americans. Our dedication to accessibility led us to develop groundbreaking scanning technology that utilizes our novel AI models. This technology creates precise 3D foot models and also offers real-time clinical insights—revolutionizing how foot conditions are identified and addressed. It’s the most accessible modality of MSK care on the market. This year, we also launched insoles.ai, a clinical platform designed to optimize clinician workflows across the country. By enhancing the foot evaluation and care process in clinics, we're enabling clinicians to provide higher quality, faster, and cost effective care. None of this would be possible without the unwavering commitment of our incredible team, whose dedication to our mission has been the driving force behind every single milestone. To everyone who has been part of Hike Medical’s journey—thank you for your support. Together, we’re reshaping what MSK & foot health can look like -and making it more accessible than ever before.

We recently had the privilege of witnessing a remarkable moment with one of our users. After years of battling chronic pain due to various foot deformities throughout her career in production, she took her first steps in our custom insoles offered by her employer at no cost. The result? Almost immediate relief. While we typically advise a break-in period for optimal comfort, in this case, the impact was instantaneous. The joy and relief on her face were palpable - a testament to the life-changing potential of properly fitted orthotics. At Hike Medical, we're committed to improving quality of life through innovative orthopedic solutions. This success story reinforces our mission and reminds us why we do what we do. Have you or someone you know struggled with chronic foot, knee, or ankle pain? We'd love to hear your experiences and how orthotic solutions have helped. #OrthoticInnovation #ChronicPainRelief #HikeMedical #MSK
