The feet are the foundation of our entire body. Over the course of life we can injure or alter the arches of the feet leading to a myriad of foot problems including plantar fasciitis, bunions, bent toes and fallen arches to name a few.
Many people believe they have flat feet when they really have fallen arches. The feet ideally have 3 arches which help to keep the foot supported and level. Commonly, one or more arches in the feet can collapse and force the foot into pronation or supination.
Sprained ankles, wearing shoes that don’t fit and poor genetics all play a part in the breakdown of feet. Another factor is that 40% of people have one leg longer causing pressure on one foot more than the other. Shoes are not designed to support the arches of the feet, essentially putting a curved foot into a flat shoe.
Custom Orthotics are the most effective strategy for supporting feet to stay healthy over the course of life. At Innovation Health we use a system called Foot Levelers using a 3D foot scanner that measures the contour of the feet and helps to get an accurate view of any foot collapse or dysfunction. The scan only takes a few minutes and can save you from years of foot pain.
If you are suffering from pain or any of these conditions call Innovation Health for a no-obligation consultation. Surgery is expensive, risky, time-consuming and has side effects. Most people heal naturally through chiropractic adjustments, and you can too. Reduce your pain and improve your quality of life by giving us a call today.
Your feet are your foundation!
