You probably don't think about your feet when you think of the chiropractor. Yet many of our patients ask us, "what are orthotics?". Wearing poorly fitting shoes and not aligning your feet correctly will cause your body unnecessary strain. Learn how orthotics, also known as shoe inserts, treat and prevent far more than just foot pain.

What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are inserts put inside your shoes to relieve foot pain, improve posture, and restore natural foot function. As shoe inserts, orthotics are intended to correct improper foot posture and walking patterns. However, they are so much more than your typical shoe cushions and arch supports you'd find at a store. This is because orthotics, like the Foot Levelers we offer at our practice, alter the angle at which the foot strikes the ground to make everyday activities more comfortable.

How Do Orthotics Help With More Than Just Foot Pain?

An orthotic is a support or shoe insert worn to correct the alignment of the foot's joints. A properly aligned foot improves foot function, promotes healing, and relieves pain. As a result, you will feel better and be able to perform at your best. Orthotics are usually molded and custom-made for each patient to fit their unique needs.

Healthy Life Chiropractic Can Help With Orthotics

Chiropractic doctors often prescribe custom orthotics to help correct joint problems. These orthotics are very effective in combination with regular chiropractic treatment. The chiropractors at Healthy Life Chiropractic are trained to fit orthotics to help patients. By using orthotics, we can help determine whether they are beneficial for your unique condition and in some cases, we can help treat issues throughout the entire body.

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief. They are terrific and very professional. Dr. Tina is very educated in her field. Between treatments and supplements, I am feeling much better. I would, and have, recommend Dr. Tina to my friends."
