Orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to walking and alignment. But the type of orthotics is just as important as any other treatment--it has to be specific to the individual, and to the use of the body. Most orthotics are made the same way they've been made for many years; by taking a mold of the feet. Unfortunately, a simple mold doesn't tell us how you are using the feet as you walk, run, and stand. Our custom orthotics are made identifying the specific pattern of muscles used and the actual pressure of the foot during dynamic activity!
The need for orthotics is often related to an issue with the natural functioning of the foot. Dynamic custom 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, these 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.
This is a great investment into your overall health and well being via a biomechanical standpoint.
