Your feet support your entire body and serve as its foundation. If there isn’t enough support from the feet because of conditions such as excessive pronation or collapsed arches, then the body and in particular the spine, are exposed to additional stress. This can lead to:

• Foot pain such as metatarsalgia, pronation and heel spurs
• Hip and knee pain
• Back pain

Custom orthotics help to maintain the normal positioning of the bones of the foot and above that the ankle, knee and hip joints as well as the pelvis and spine. Custom orthotics help to reduce muscle fatigue and enhance muscle function when standing, walking and running.

Your chiropractor is trained to perform a biomechanical assessment to determine if you require custom orthotics and which type will suit you best.
