Foundation of Your Body
Your
feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand,
walk, or run. And they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues
from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.
The
foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained,
give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a
supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body. If
there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must
compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually leads
to further compromise.
It's a chain reaction.
Healthcare
professionals know alleviating pain in one part of your body often
requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck
could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by
unbalanced positioning in your feet. See? It's a chain reaction.
By
stabilizing and balancing your feet, orthotics enhance your body's
performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total
body wellness. Our orthotics complement your healthcare professional's
treatment when you stand, walk, and live your active life.
