Phoenix, Arizona – October, 2019 – Did you know that custom foot orthotics could improve your quality of life?

Surprised? It’s true.

But first, it’s important to understand how custom orthotics are superior to over the counter shoe inserts. What you buy off the shelf can’t address the variety of symptoms that custom foot orthotics can.

Custom or personalized foot orthotics address your specific foot issues. These are made especially for your foot, using state-of-the-art technology. First, your feet are screened for structural irregularities, like flat foot or high arches. Your feet are as unique as you and buying generic foot inserts off-the-shelf doesn’t correct the exact issues you need for pain relief and correct posture.

And, by pain doesn’t just refer to foot pain. Instabilities or gait issues caused due to structural problems in your foot can gradually lead to ankle, knee, hip and even lower back pain. Your feet have an important function in the entire musculoskeletal system, so it is important to start from the ground up to relieve the pain you have in the rest of your body.

Benefits of custom orthotics

When you wear custom foot orthotics, your feet and the rest of your body feel really good. People, who have been wearing a pair for a while, may realize after a few days that their heel pain is gone and they have experienced other benefits as well. For example:

• Less ankle or leg pain
• Better balance
• Improved ability to walk farther or stand without pain for longer periods of time
• Less lower back pain
• Fewer calluses, corns, and bunions
• Improved posture
• Better gait

Once your feet are able to support your body as well as possible, you will notice positive changes throughout your body.

How orthotics reduce back pain?

Chronic lower back pain is one of the most common complaints among adults and it is one of the most frequent reasons for missing work. If everyone with back pain wore custom foot orthotics, they would experience improvements in their body, from the ground up. Here are the top reasons why this happens.

• When your arches are too flat or too high, or you have any other structural problems in your feet, the feet are forced out of alignment with your shins.
• If your feet and ankles turn inward/outward and become misaligned with your shins, gradually, your knees also become misaligned.
• Once the knees shift, the thigh bones may shift out of alignment with the pelvis.
• Eventually, a problem that began in your feet has caused an unsteady hip posture, which means your spine is now less stable.

When you go through your days, with your feet, legs, hips, and spine all thrown out of proper alignment, you’re likely to suffer from lower back pain.

Custom foot orthotics can correct this misalignment of bones starting with your feet, where it all began. This will create a positive domino effect upward, until your posture improves, relieving back pain.

Custom orthotics also absorb the impact when you walk, run, stand or move in any way. In addition to alleviating your back pain, this shock absorption may relieve the pain in your ankles, knees, and hips too, finally, improving the quality of your life.
