Chiropractic and Feet?
At Chiropractic Solutions, we recognize that the feet are the foundation of the entire body. So any fallen arch or misalignment in the feet can lead to pain (now or later) in the feet, knees, hips, back or neck and cause these joints to wear out prematurely.
It is important that you have you feet assessed, adjusted and supported.
Associate Platinum Scanner from Footlevelers
Footlevelers is a company that has been manufacturing custom made orthotics called spinal Stabilizers for 55 years. Their new product - The Associate Platinum - is a special scanner that allows examination of your feet and each foots three arches. It then prints a color photo of your feet and highlights issues that can affect the rest of your body, and then recommend stabilizers made just for you!
These Stabilizers are particularly useful for those with recurrent feet, knee, hip and low back problems but can be used by athletes for injury prevention and performance enhancement.
What is the advantage of Footlevelers Stabilizers over standard orthotics?
- Only Footlevelers Stabilizers provide support to all three arches of the foot.
- The combination of flexible, yet supportive and durable materials ensures that the Stabilizers will both guide the feet when walking and provide support for long periods when standing.
- A variety of styles are available for all activity levels. Full length and dress length Stabilizers fit a wide variety of shoe style.
- The flexible spinal Stabilizers encourage optimal muscle and nerve function by guiding feet through a more normal pattern with each step taken.
The process is relatively simple; after your Chiropractor performs a few tests, a scan is performed of your feet whilst standing. This scan then enables your Chiropractor to see if there is any uneven wear or problems with your feet. This information is then sent to Footlevelers laboratory, where it is used to create a special orthotic unique to you!
