What are Custom-Orthotics?
“Aren’t Orthotics only for older individuals?”
It's a common misconception that orthotics are only for older individuals, but that is not the case. Orthotics can be helpful for people of all ages, regardless of their age or activity level.
Orthotics are often prescribed by chiropractors to help alleviate pain and improve the function of the feet and lower legs. They can be particularly helpful for people with foot or ankle problems, such as flat feet, high arches, or overpronation (when the feet roll inward too much while walking).
They can also be beneficial for people with conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot).
Imagine your feet are like the foundation of a house. Just like a house with a strong foundation is more stable and less likely to have problems, feet with proper support and alignment are less likely to experience pain or other problems. Orthotics are like supportive beams for your feet, helping to keep everything in proper alignment and reduce strain on the lower legs.
If you're experiencing foot or ankle pain or other problems, it's worth considering orthotics as a treatment option. Orthotics can help to alleviate pain and improve the function of the feet and lower legs, helping you to move more comfortably and enjoy your daily activities.
