CAN MY PAIN BE FROM MY FEET?





What are Custom Molded Foot Orthotics?

Foot Orthotics are shoe inserts that are intended to correct an abnormal, or irregular walking pattern by altering the angles at which the foot strikes the ground. This correction helps bring joints back into proper alignment, which reduces strains on muscles therefore reducing stress on your body as a whole.


"Custom Molded" Orthotics are just as stated, a mold is taken of your foot and a removable foot orthotic is created just for your foot specific problem.


How could my foot be causing problems in the rest of my body?





"Foot biomechanics" studies the foot movements during walking, running and the affects of these movements on our bodies.


* The structure of your feet support your entire weight


* When a problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk, will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher in your body and lead to more serious problems.


* Have you ever had to walk with crutches or have a limp caused from an injury? If so, this concept is easier to grasp. You know that during the time of your altered walking pattern the rest of your body would develope additional painful responses like stiff muscles and even muscle fatigue and cramping. Even after the initial injury has healed the secondary injury caused from the change in your walking pattern will stay on as an additional area that needs to heal. Now imagine walking "altered" for many years. This postural imperfection will lead to painful areas of the body that could seem to be unrelated, but yet their main cause is from the way you are walking and the stress you are placing on your body with every "mis-step."
