Greetings,

Thanks for taking the time to review my experience and expanded services.   My purpose for doing this is to educate and encourage you to take on the challenge of learning further continuing medical education in the area of Functional Biomechanics and Ergonomics.   I am a OLD GUY now and the ego has long gone, however I receive many inquiries about my education and training, so here it is . . .

I am available for consultations by appointment either by Phone, or Video Conferencing (Skype) or in person.   My Skype Address is drcraiglowe   Our office line is 714-669-9600
Any major development projects are provided by a professional project proposal.

I provide professional services for both Physicians and Surgeons as well as Non Medical markets such as Industry designed to control of Workers Compensation claims and productivity as well as Consumer and Sports markets.   I have extensive professional, business and life experiences to help new and emerging markets develop.   I have consulted for large fortune 500 companies in the footwear industry.

I retired from medicine in 1993 as I went to study Law.  In 1997, I spear-headed the development of the first weight bearing kinematic Imaging platform (3DO) used in Research, Orthopedics, Podiatry and Physical and Sports Medicine.   I was also fortunate to develop and run a Residency Program which specialized in Functional Surgery and Biomechanics.

Historical
I have been a medical surgical specialist in lower extremity medicine since 1976.   My passion was the utilization of high technology applications in the advancement of long term foot, ankle and extremity care.   I have been a researcher in a number of surgical and functional areas of medicine.   In pushing technology, I found myself bucking a slow and resistant medical 9industry that was slow to change.   This resistance came from the Insurance Industry (cost containment & managed care) which affected the medical legal environment and prevented the standard of care from advancing to its fullest.

I worked out of many Southern California Hospitals from 1976 to 1993;
  • Fountain Valley Trauma Center Hospital
  • Costa Mesa Medical Center Hospital

Research, Publishing and Lecturing
I was instrumental in the core development of Functional Biomechanics from 1976 to 1993.   Unfortunately, the medical profession walked away from this science as it migrated to PHD Universities.   Sad to say today few physicians have little to no training in the critical area.
