Foot Levelers are custom-built orthotics that support all three arches of the foot. Those three natural arches help balance the body, propel us forward, absorb impact, and adapt to the surfaces we walk and run on. Most over-the-counter and even many prescribed orthotics do not address all three natural arches in the foot.
Also, no two feet are alike. Millions of people share your shoe size, yet no two have the same foot shape. Even your own two feet aren't identical. This is why custom-fit orthotics matter.
Over time, the effects of gravity and the many traumas we experience in life can cause one or more of those arches to falter and weaken when not adequately supported. That puts an extra load on the other areas of the body. Those additional loads can lead to foot, knee, and lower back pain, as well as many other symptoms throughout the body.
Other structural imbalances in your feet that can also lead to issues throughout the body, like:
Overpronation
Foot pronation occurs when feet roll inward. People who suffer from excessive pronation may experience an inward rotation of the knee and forward tilting of the pelvis, causing pain in the feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders, and neck.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning.
Sciatica
Pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, which runs down one or both legs from the lower back.
Inflammation of the Achilles Tendon
The tendon runs from the calf muscles down to the back of the heel bone. Achilles tendonitis usually occurs due to overuse and is most commonly reported in athletes, most frequently, runners.
Foot Levelers KIOSK
Clairpointe Family Chiropractic offers a Foot Levelers KIOSK to help you get properly fitted for your Foot Levelers orthotics.
It only takes a few steps to get started:
- Take off your shoes and socks, then stand on the scanner.
- Touch the screen; the machine will then ask you a few questions. Note: Foot Levelers will ask you for your e-mail, but this is only used to send you your results.
- The scanner will then scan your feet. Your results will appear on the screen, showing you where support is needed.
- It will then send Foot Levelers the same report to keep on file for when you are ready to order.
From here, you can go over the types of orthotics we offer and place your order with our C.A. Since Foot Levelers will have your report on file, this lessens the time it will take to build your custom orthotics, and they should arrive within 5-7 days.
