Custom Orthotics
Most people don't understand the connection between a healthy spine and custom made orthotics. Actually, most people don't really understand what an orthotic is in the first place. Generally speaking,
Orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to walking and alignment. Some of these include but are not limited to knee, foot and lower back pain. In our office, we look to see how the body funcions as a whole. Abnormalities in the feet can and often do, affect the rest of the structure of the axial skeleton (your spine). The foot has three arches which provide propper support and function in the foot. When these structues become altered, such as in flat feet, it can throw off the function of the rest of the joints in the body. If this happens, it will have a direct impact on your posture. Since proper postue is vital for a subluxation free spine, it is imperative that any imbalances in the foot be corrected.
The need for orthotics is often related to an issue with the natural functioning of the foot. Orthotics will often help to realign the bones within the foot and ankle and therefore take pressure of other parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders and hips. In addition, orthotics will help with distributing your weight properly and take further pressure off of toes, bunions and other parts of the foot.
Orthotics are really for anyone with an issue or discomfort relating to walking or imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain. The great benefit of orthotics is that they can be worn on a daily basis and be utilized during most activities to take further stress of the body.
Orthotics can often be prescribed by your chiropractor and can last well over a year in most cases. This is a great investment into your overall health and well being via a biomechanical standpoint.
