Orthotics are medically prescribed shoe inserts made to comfortably slide into your shoes and support your specific foot shape. Custom orthotics help relieve pain, increase balance, and correct health issues related to standing, walking and running.
Custom-fit orthotics are personalized to fit the shape of your feet. Many professional athletes and celebrities use custom-fit orthotics to maintain a competitive advantage and improve their posture. In addition, orthotics improve balance, stability, and comfort and reduce pain and discomfort caused by rheumatoid arthritis, fallen arches, osteoarthritis, diabetes, plantar fasciitis, and more. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your feet, legs, or back, Shiawassee Spinal Center can provide you with custom-fit orthotics to help you live a healthier and happier life.
Why should you choose custom orthotics instead of over-the-counter orthotics? Not every foot is standard like the orthotics in the store. Custom orthotics are made specifically to support the needs of your feet, making them one-of-a-kind.
The foot is made up of 3 bony arches. These 3 arches in the foot are what keep the body balanced. Together, these 3 arches form an extremely strong, supportive “plantar vault” that distributes the weight of the entire body. This is why Foot Levelers is crafted with the three-arch advantage! Our orthotics are designed to help support your arches to the specific needs of your feet however, over-the-counter orthotics are typically designed with only one arch support, and in most cases those orthotics end up over-supporting that arch and leave the other two major arches in your feet unsupported which can cause more pain throughout your body.
Not only do custom orthotics help your feet, but they help your body as well! Foot Levelers custom orthotics have been proven to reduce low back pain by 34.5%! Foot Levelers have more options than just a standard over-the-counter insert. They have many styles and shoe options that come with your custom orthotic inserts, and there are even options for flip-flops.
The CDC reports that more than 100 million adults in the U.S. have diabetes or prediabetes, leading to diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy can lead to pain or tingling in the feet, blisters, sores, and in severe cases, amputation is necessary. Diabetes can also lower blood flow to the lower extremities, making it harder to recover from these illnesses.
Custom diabetic shoes, or custom orthotics, may help to reduce foot conditions. In some patients, orthotics have been shown to reduce numbness, promote proper posture and blood flow, reduce pain, and help heal from past trauma and illnesses. If you have diabetes or know someone who does and is suffering from pain or numbness in the feet, contact the office at the Shiawassee Spinal Center to set up a custom orthotics consultation today.
