Just like the foundation of a building, the feet provide the necessary support and stability for the entire structure above them, which in this case is our body. But honestly, how often do we take care of our feet?
The feet are indeed the foundations of the body, and they play a crucial role in providing stability, balance, and support for the entire body. Often overlooked and neglected, our feet are subjected to significant strain and stress throughout our daily lives.
How to know if you will benefit from Orthotics?
When it comes to Alignment and Posture our Chiropractors count on an in depth tool, the Footlevelers 3D Scanner, this test will provide detailed information about the three arches of the feet, difference in balance and weight bearing between each other and possible effects on the rest of the joints like the ancles, knees and hips. Sometimes even upper body pain is actually originated at the feet and here lies the importance of professionally evaluating them.
The above detailed report will be given to you complimentary with your Chiropractic appointment.
Custom made orthotic inserts are created exclusively for each patient, responding to this evaluation.
The crucial role of the feet
1- Weight-bearing role: Our feet bear the weight of the entire body while standing, walking, running, or engaging in any physical activity. They act as shock absorbers, cushioning the impact on the joints and spine. Neglecting them can lead to various foot problems that can eventually affect other parts of the body.
2- Complex structure: The foot is a complex structure comprising 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This intricate network allows for flexibility and movement, but it also makes the feet vulnerable to injuries and conditions that arise from overuse or lack of support.
3- Alignment and posture: The alignment of the feet influences the entire body’s posture. If the feet are not properly aligned, it can lead to an imbalance in the rest of the body, affecting the knees, hips, and spine. Taking care of the feet helps maintain proper posture, which can prevent chronic pain and improve overall body mechanics.
