Since feet are the
major weight-bearing part of the body, foot pain is common; half of Americans have missed a day of work because of foot problems.
The foot contains 26 bones, up to 2 sesamoid bones, and many small structures which support and balance the weight of
the entire body. Walking puts up to 1.5 times one's body weight on the foot, and humans walk an average of 1,000 miles per
year.
Foot
pain is not normal and should not be ignored; problems can affect the functioning of other parts of the body, including the
hips, knees, and back. These are foot-related problems that may be related to biomechanical issues.
Orthotics reduce the symptoms
associated with many foot related pathologies, provide support and better positioning for the body, accommodate foot deformities,
and relieve pressure from all areas of the foot. They improve the overall biomechanical function of the foot and lower extremity.
Our custom fit orthotics can help relieve pain associated with Bunions,
Hammertoes, Heel Pain, Heel Spurs, High Arches, Flat Feet, Corns and Calluses, Neuromas, Plantar fasciitis, Pronation, and
Supination. Orthotics also alleviate foot problems caused by disease, overuse, congential defect or injury. We custom fit
every individual based on their degree of correction.
