How can custom orthotics help?

Orthotics can play a valuable role in chiropractic care by addressing foot-related issues, promoting proper alignment and biomechanics, and enhancing the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments. Orthotics can be an integral part of this comprehensive approach, helping to address foot-related problems that may impact overall musculoskeletal health. By incorporating orthotics into chiropractic care, we provide patients with a more holistic and integrated treatment plan tailored to their individual needs including:

• Alignment and Posture - the feet are the foundation of the body and can affect our overall posture and spinal alignment. Orthotics can help to correct issues such as overpronation or supination, which can contribute to poor posture and spinal misalignments.
   
• Reduce joint and muscle stress - Orthotics can be used to address these imbalances by providing support and stability during walking and other weight-bearing activities. Our clinic uses a gait analysis - a specialized assessment that involves the systematic observation and evaluation of an individual's walking or running pattern. By improving gait mechanics, orthotics can reduce stress on the joints and muscles, enhancing the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments.
   
• Foot pain - Foot problems, such as flat feet, high arches, or improper foot alignment, can contribute to pain and dysfunction in other areas of the body. Orthotics can help alleviate pain by correcting these underlying foot issues and promoting proper alignment and biomechanics. By addressing the root cause of pain, orthotics can enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments and other therapeutic interventions.
