Are your feet balanced?

Posted on 2012-02-28 11:18:50

Your feet are the base that your body stands on and are the foundation of the body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run. Feet also help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from stress as you move. We can improve your overall health by supporting your foundation.

If your feet are weak or have structural problems such as flat feet, this can lead to problems in your knees, hips and low back, and can even cause headaches. Many people wear orthotics because they are good for their feet, but orthotics are even more important for those who experience pain after extended walking or standing.

By stabilizing and balancing your feet orthotics enhance your body’s performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness. Orthotics also complement the chiropractic adjustment of the spine and feet by helping maintain alignment when you stand and walk. Orthotics and chiropractic care can help you live your life in balance.

When ordering orthotics, a cast or mold will be made of each of your soles.  At least 16 different measurements of your feet are taken to ensure that your feet, and therefore your foundation, are more firmly supported. Please note that the orthotics and insoles that you buy at your drug store are not the same as the high quality orthotics that you can have custom made, even though they look similar. Insoles may effectively reduce pressure by increasing the padding under your feet, but orthotics are customized and provide a foot-bed that is molded specifically for each of your feet based on their unique shape and size. Customized orthotics are also a worthy investment. Ask us whether we think you need orthotics or not.
