How's Your Balance?

Your feet are the foundation of your body… and can be a contributing factor to your health problems.

But My Feet Don’t Hurt
Your feet are the foundation of your entire skeleton. If they’re not supported properly, your body will form weaknesses in its skeletal structure. This results in pain and suffering. It’s like a building that will eventually have cracks in its walls if the foundation is not laid properly.

Most of the time, your feet aren’t the weakest point of your skeleton. They don’t hurt… but they will affect other parts of your body that do.

Excessive Foot Pronation and Flat Feet
When your feet strike hard surfaces, like the pavement or floor, they begin to flatten. This action causes the bones in your feet to become misaligned and leads to excessive foot pronation or flat feet. You’ll notice movement of your ankle and the flattening of your arch.

These conditions cause stress on your entire body, starting with your foot and moving up to your ankle, knee, hip joint, pelvis, spine and head. It can also result in a variety of health problems.

Orthotics help correct these problems.
Foot orthotics give you proper support and help restore the natural balance and alignment of your body.
Foot orthotics also help make your spinal adjustments more effective and longer-lasting.
