CUSTOM ORTHOTICS

INCORRECT MOVEMENT STRAINS YOUR FOOT:

When your foot flattens too much, some bones and soft tissue are forced to support too much body weight. Muscles may pull harder on these areas, making it difficult for your ligaments to hold the joints and bones in place. Over time, the strain on the soft tissue and joints may cause foot problems.

Example: When walking - At contact, the inner part of your heel hits the ground instead of the outer edge. During mid stance, the ankle and heel are misaligned and your foot has no arch.

ORTHOSES CONTROL MOVEMENT, STOP STRAIN:

By limiting the swing of your heel, orthoses control the amount your foot flattens. The stress of weight bearing is better distributed throughout your foot, reducing strain on soft tissue and joints. Existing bone or soft tissue changes may not disappear, but orthoses can help reduce of eliminate your foot pain.. If your hips or knees also hurt, orthoses may relieve this symptom, too.

Example: When walking - At heel contact, orthoses limit the swing of your heel so your heel strikes the ground correctly. During mid stance, your orthoses support your foot so it can regain its arch, allowing the ankle and the heel to align.
