In St. Catharines, our custom foot orthotics provide tailored comfort and support, contributing to improved foot health and enhanced mobility for our patients.
When the arches of the feet slump, as most will at some point, they have negative effects on knee, hip and back posture. This is because, from the spine to the foot, all joints are connected and influenced by changes in any other joint in the chain. Fallen arches put a twist in the chain that effects everything up to the spine. Orthotics were designed to restore the proper arch height of the foot, wearing them can help improve the posture and health of the knee, hip and back as well. Postural imbalances at any joint, especially ones that bear full body weight in standing like the knee, hip and spine, lead to excessive wear and tear that can cause arthritis or even disc degeneration in the spine. There are many other things necessary for healthy joints, such as good strength, endurance and flexibility, but using orthotics is an easy way to insure better joint health every day. Orthotics can also help with several different injuries such as; - Shin Splints - Bunions - Low Back Pain - Flat Feet (over pronation) - Morton's Neuroma - Pregnancy - IT Band Syndrome - Sports Performance |
