Olivadr Chiropractic - Your Path to Wellness

 You may be asking, “what are orthopaedic shoes?” Orthopedic shoes help improve foot, ankle, and leg health. They differ from regular shoes because they provide extra structure and cushioning. These factors help reduce the amount of strain placed on the feet. They also feature adjustable straps, laces, and other fastenings to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Supportive, well-fitting footwear plays a vital role in keeping people mobile and pain free. However, wearing appropriate shoes is sometimes not enough for people with certain foot conditions and foot types. If you have foot problems such as foot deformities, toe deformities, a complicated or severe foot injury, extremely wide bunions, an open sore, or a neurological disease that affects your feet you may require orthopaedic shoes. 

 On average, we take 7,000–10,000 steps per day; each heel strike while walking carries 2.5 times our body weight. Over time, the plantar fascia and many other bone-to-bone ligaments, like the spring ligament, may elastically deform. This deformation can cause the foot to become less stable.  Therefore, adjusting and stabilizing the foot is primary in creating the balanced pedal foundation needed to treat low–back pain.  CUSTOM MADE ORTHOTICS * Permitting the optimal or standard range of foot motion.   * Supporting all three arches of the feet: the medial longitudinal, lateral longitudinal and anterior transverse.   * The arch height in these three arches should allow for standard motion while restricting excessive movements, like pronation 

•  We know the feet can contribute to biomechanical stresses that include increased pronation of the foot, and rotational stresses in the foot, knee and hip joint which can cause torquing stresses in the pelvis. This imbalance can result in lower back, mid back and neck pain.
