The foundation of your body is at your feet. When you stand, walk, or run, it’s your feet that influence whether your body is in alignment or not. When you are not in alignment two things result: inefficiency and pain. You expend more energy than necessary and fatigue quickly as the muscles in your back and legs get sore and tired.
Your feet perform better when all their bones, muscles and arches are in their ideal stable positions. Proper foot mechanics help protect your spine, bones muscles and ligaments from damaging stress as you move around. A custom orthotic positions your foot in the ideal, stable position that is specific to your feet and body. The effect: more energy, less soreness. It’s that simple.
Healthcare professionals understand 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 somewhere in your back, which is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. It’s a chain reaction.
By stabilizing and balancing your feet, a custom orthotic enhances your body’s performance and efficiency, reduces pain, and contributes to your total body wellness. A custom orthotic complements your healthcare professional’s treatment when you stand, walk, and live your active life.
Most extended health care plans cover custom orthotics, check with your insurance carrier for details.
