When you think of the chiropractor, you probably don’t think about your feet. However, proper posture and great support for your spine, back, and neck can all be traced back to how you treat your feet. Without good-fitting footwear and without proper foot alignment, your body will suffer through unnecessary strain. For some patients, these parts of the body may be in such misalignment that they require a little bit of help. That’s where custom orthotics like Foot Levelers come in. Here’s what you need to know.
What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are insoles that are put inside of your shoes to help with foot pain, posture, and to restore natural foot movement. Orthotics are known as shoe inserts and are designed to correct irregular or abnormal foot posture and walking patterns. But they are much more than the typical shoe cushioners and arch supporters you’ll find at the local pharmacy! This is because orthotics, like the Foot Levelers we have available at our practice, perform functions that make everyday activities more comfortable by altering the angle at which the foot strikes the ground.
How Can Healthy Life Chiropractic Help with Orthotics?
Many chiropractors offer custom orthotics to help correct joint issues. When combined with regular chiropractic care, orthotics are very effective. At Healthy Life Chiropractic, our chiropractors are trained to fit orthotics to help our patients. We can determine whether they will benefit your unique condition and in some cases can treat issues throughout the body with the help of orthotics.
Your Local Chiropractor and Customized Orthotics
Customized orthotic insoles are shaped to accommodate and align your feet to correct your anklebones and foot to a neutral position, which restores natural foot function. At your local Newnan, GA chiropractor, we can assist with any questions or concerns about the use of orthotics. Plus, as part of March’s monthly sale, orthotics are $50 off all month long!
