Orthotics



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.


It's a chain reaction...


It is commonly understood that 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 which 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. Orthotics complement your healthcare when you stand, walk, and live your active life. Custom-made Orthotics are individualized to stabilize your spine and pelvis by correcting imbalances in your feet - the foundation of your skeletal system. Though they may go unnoticed, these imbalances contribute to fatigue, misalignments, and pain in areas throughout your body.

Even if your feet don't hurt, they may be a major factor contributing to your health problems. Spinal-pelvic misalignment is the culprit. Pain in various parts of your body may be traced directly to your feet! You may not be as fortunate as you think. A foot problem may be the cause of discomfort or pain in your leg/hip, back, arm/shoulder or even your neck!
