Just as steel and metal girders provide the foundation for the tallest of buildings, your feet provide the foundation for your body. People who spend a lot of time on their feet through work, athletics, or an active lifestyle, can come to realize that this foundation can become a source of pain and discomfort. Sometimes, even chronic diseases can affect the feet, such as diabetes. Orthotics can be prescribed through custom fitting by foam casting or gait scan analysis to tailor your specific footwear to your feet and specific needs. Everything is connected. By putting your feet in proper alignment, other joints in your body become aligned and functioning properly as well, from knees to hips, to spine. Orthotics are also useful for biomechanical conditions such as overpronation, oversupination, as well as neuromusculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, achillies tendon problems, chronic ankle sprains, metatarsalgia, as well as other conditions.
