Who Can Benefit From Custom Foot Orthotics

Chiropractic Foot Scan ImagePatients who can benefit from custom made foot orthotics do not always complain of foot pain, because symptoms are often referred to structures away from the feet, ie. knees, and or lower back.

However, if you suffer from chronic back pain, leg pain, or foot pain, it could be a result of improper lower-body alignment. A thorough evaluation from Dr. Neivert will assess your alignment and, if necessary, he will recommend custom orthotics (shoe inserts). Orthotics will reposition and realign your hips, knees, and feet, relieving the strain on your lower limbs and back.



Your Feet Are The Foundation Of Your Body

Your feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run. And they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.

The foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body.

If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually leads to further compromise.



Everything's Connected... It's A Chain Reaction

Healthcare professionals know alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. For instance, the pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. See? It's a chain reaction.

The problems that people feel are usually localized foot pain, calluses, corns, bunions, heel pain, muscle fatigue or spasms, or leg or knee soreness. These symptoms often signify that joints are being thrown out of alignment. Usually related muscles and tendons are being over-stressed in struggling against the excessive forces caused by the imbalance. Finally the "wear and tear" of stress on the joints will often result in degenerative " arthritis," back pain, collapsed arches, and other painful or disabling symptoms.

By stabilizing and balancing your feet, Foot Levelers orthotics enhance your body's performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness. Foot Leveler orthotics complement your healthcare professional's treatment when you stand, walk, and live your active life.

Research has shown that sports performance can be increased through better stabilisation. Golfers, for example, have been shown to increase shot distance by up to 15 meters through increased pelvic rotation and greater club head speed. In many cases chronic spinal pain is also eased.

Dr. Neivert utilizes a state-of-the-art Digital Foot Scanner from Foot Levelers to extract an impression of your feet.  This digital scan provides a complete foot and postural analysis report for you to take home. The impressions are then sent to the Foot Leveler laboratory where the orthotics are custom made to correct any imbalances found in the three arches of each foot.

Custom orthotics are covered by many private insurance plans.  To have your feet scanned and see whether you may benefit from custom orthotics contact our office at (781) 235 0721
