The key to better health could be right under your… toes
Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.
The Orthotic Group’s (TOG) custom orthotics help rebalance your feet, reducing pain and discomfort by enhancing your body’s natural movements. In close partnership with Franklin Park Chiropractic’s doctors, TOG designs orthotics that augment treatment and add to your general well-being no matter where your feet may take you.
Prescription orthotics look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your foot.
Properly made orthotics are custom molded to the support requirements of your feet. They help restore the normal balance and alignment of your body by gently correcting foot abnormalities. Nobody understands this better than The Orthotic Group, a true leader in this specialized field.
The Orthotic Group designs innovative, comfortable orthotics that are a pleasure to wear as they gently reduce problems associated with pressure points, muscle strain, and abnormal forces on the ankles, knees, hips and spine. Over time, custom orthotics support what is prescribed by the doctors of Franklin Park Chiropractic Center and bring you relief from fatigue and pain, allowing you to enjoy daily activities comfortably.
| The symptoms of poor foot mechanics can include any one of the following: |
|---|
| Localized foot pain |
| Bunions, hammer toes |
| Arch / heel pain |
| Leg / knee pain |
| Hip or back pain – even neck pain |
The doctors of Franklin Park Chiropractic Center can prescribe foot orthotics to help correct your specific foot and body imbalance. You can help by discussing any nagging foot, leg, or back problems, and even by simply asking if your feet could be part of the problem.
