Orthotics – Active Foot Support for Better Foot and Body Posture

What are Orthotics?

Orthotics support, align, prevent or correct the function of movable parts of the body. Shoe inserts are orthotics that are intended to correct an abnormal foot shape or walking pattern by slightly altering the angles at which the foot strikes a walking or running surface.

Axis Chriporactic Center offers semi-custom fit, active, shoe insert orthotics that exercise, align and strengthen the foot.  Problems of the spine may start from the ground up.  If there are issues with the feet, they may need to be corrected with orthotics in order to have proper alignment of your feet and spine. 

Modern-day feet are subjected to man-made, hard, unforgiving surfaces, which may affect the foot structure and also may have a detrimental effectual on the entire musculoskeletal system.  Orthotics may restore good balance, alignment and fitness to the feet and body.

Active, shoe-insert orthotics may offer relief for a variety of conditions, such as:

• Painful heels
• Calluses
• Hammertoes
• Plantar fasciitis
• Bunions
• Sore legs
• Sore feet
• Back pain
• Neck and shoulder distress

Your Orthotic Fitting Visit

Your care professional will first learn about your medical history and the symptoms you are experiencing.  Based upon this, the proper type and size of active, shoe-insert orthotics will be recommended for you.  A break-in process will be recommended to give your feet a chance to adapt gradually to the orthotics.
