Foot Orthotics - Chiropractic Care, Ltd.
Your feet are the foundation of your body, supporting your spine and
pelvic structure. Your feet also affect your knees, hips and back. As we
age, the arches of the feet may settle like a foundation, which can
cause misalignment and pain anywhere from your ankles to your neck. Some
people just naturally have fallen arches, known as ankle pronation,
causing abnormal pressure on the arches, toes and ankles. This can cause
painful plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. These conditions often cause a
sharp pain in the heel or arch of the foot, worse when getting out of
bed in the morning or when getting up from a seated position. Abnormal
stress on the arches and bones of the foot and toes may also cause
metatarsalgia and Morton’s neuroma. Ankle pronation can cause abnormal
rotation of the knee, hip and even pelvis, which causes stress to those
joints.
At both offices, Chiropractic Care in
Homewood and Chiropractic Care Millennium Park in Chicago, we utilize
specialized state-of-the-art digital scanning equipment that allows us
to:
-
Check your foundation. We will take a look at your feet and analyze
where the arches may have fallen. -
If needed, recommend a pair of custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers
from Foot
Levelers that will help bring your spinal pelvic structure back
into alignment, easing knee, hip and back pain, or possibly
preventing future occurrences of pain.
Custom-fitted orthotics can be especially
important to patients who want to maintain a healthy and active
lifestyle as they age. They make many different types which are specific
to each patient’s conditions and activity levels. We can even get your
orthotics prescription built into many different styles of dress and
athletic shoes and even sandals. Feel free to go to FootLevelers.com to
see for yourself the many options available to you and give us a call
for a complimentary foot scan.
