What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are custom-designed inserts that fit inside your shoes to support the arches of your feet and improve the way your body moves. By correcting biomechanical imbalances, orthotics help distribute pressure more evenly across your feet and support healthy alignment throughout your body.
Your feet are the foundation of your musculoskeletal system. When they are not properly supported, it can create stress that travels upward through your ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
Custom orthotics are created specifically for your feet, making them far more effective than generic insoles purchased in stores.
A Personalized Approach to Foot Support
Every person’s feet and posture are different. That’s why we evaluate your foot structure, posture, and movement patterns before recommending orthotics.
Our goal is to create a personalized solution that supports your natural alignment and helps reduce unnecessary strain on your joints and muscles.
Many patients find that combining orthotics with chiropractic care helps them maintain better posture and improve overall movement.
Can You Benefit From Orthotics?
Custom orthotics may help people experiencing:
- Plantar fasciitis or heel pain
- Flat feet or fallen arches
- High arches
- Knee pain related to alignment
- Hip discomfort
- Lower back pain
- Foot fatigue after standing or walking
- Sports-related stress on the feet and legs
Supporting your feet properly can help reduce stress throughout the entire kinetic chain of the body.
What to Expect
When you visit Arsenault Family Chiropractic Centers, we begin with a careful evaluation of your posture, gait, and foot structure.
Your orthotics process may include:
- A foot and posture assessment
- Evaluation of your walking mechanics
- Measurements or scans of your feet
- Custom orthotic fabrication designed specifically for you
Once your orthotics are ready, we ensure they fit properly and provide guidance on how to gradually introduce them into your daily routine for the best results.
Supporting Your Whole Body
Orthotics are often used alongside chiropractic adjustments to help maintain proper alignment and reduce stress on the spine and joints.
By improving the foundation of your body, orthotics can help support better posture, improve movement patterns, and contribute to long-term musculoskeletal health.
