Los Altos Orthotics Offers Pain Relief from the Bottom Up
The feet are the foundation for our bodies. When the muscles in our feet are injured or unbalanced, it can be incredibly painful to walk or stand. Worse, this imbalance can trigger other
health problems, including lower back pain, hip pain and knee pain. If you suffer from chronic pain due to a foot problem such as dropped arches, custom orthotics from Foot
Levelers can change your life.
Los Altos Wellness Center Provides Custom Foot Levelers
If you are suffering from chronic pain due to foot problems, our chiropractor may recommend custom orthotics from Foot Levelers. Foot Levelers orthotics are designed to enhance the body’s performance and efficiency by reducing pain and stabilizing the spine. When the feet are unbalanced, the pelvis tilts, the shoulders drop, the knees rotate and the arches drop. This imbalance strains the joints and puts extra pressure on the spine. Foot Levelers orthotics changes this by creating a strong, balanced foundation.
While there are many orthotic options on the market today, our chiropractor recommends Foot Levelers orthotics because they provide support for all three arches in the feet. Many
over-the-counter orthotic solutions only provide support for one arch. Worse, some of these over-the-counter options actually over-correct the arch, causing more harm than good. Foot Levelers
also includes a patented Gait Cycle System that provides customized support through each phase of your gain. This customized support promotes optimal posture, enhancing the benefits of
chiropractic adjustments. Foot Levelers guarantees all of their custom made orthotics 100%.
Prior to recommending orthotics, Dr. Reimer will fully examine each foot to determine the extent of any injuries and arch problems. This examination includes diagnostic digital foot scans and a full medical history. Pain symptoms, daily activities and past medical history will help Dr. Reimer accurately diagnose the extent of your foot injuries and the level of orthotic support required.
For example, plantar fasciitis is one of the most common conditions affecting the feet. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that stretches from the heel bone to the toes. This tissue supports the arches. If the tissue band becomes weak, swollen or inflamed, patients experience pain. Symptoms typically occur when walking or standing; pain symptoms may lessen with movement only to flare up again unexpectedly. Plantar fasciitis can also trigger hip and lower back pain. When the feet are unable to properly support the body, this strains other muscles and joints. Continuing to walk, run or stand for long periods of time will further aggravate this soft tissue injury, leading to chronic pain.
Whether you have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis or a variety of other foot conditions, may be running on imbalanced feet, or simply suffer from foot pain, custom orthotics can make a significant difference for your well-being. Foot Levelers orthotics are created using digital images and fully customized to your individual foot. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution! Your customized orthotics will support more than 33 joints, 26 bones and 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments in your feet. You'll feel the difference immediately!
