Foot Orthotics
Good health starts with the feet. Custom orthotics can support and position your feet to help improve balance throughout your body.
Your Feet Are Your Foundation
Your feet support the entire height and weight of your body. Each step depends on an intricate network of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When foot structure or movement is not well supported, stress can travel up the body and contribute to pain or loss of function.
Foot Levelers has made custom orthotics for over 70 years. Their custom orthotics, Shoethotics®, and Sandalthotics® are designed to properly support and position the feet. Foot Levelers custom orthotics support all three arches of the foot.
At San Tan Physical Therapy, we look at the whole musculoskeletal system and use a thorough assessment to determine whether orthoses may be an appropriate part of your personalized treatment plan.
How Custom Orthotic Inserts May Help
After a thorough initial evaluation, foot orthoses may be recommended to address your specific movement and support needs.
Improve Alignment
Orthoses can put the foot and ankle in better alignment and help support the body in a more balanced fashion.
Disperse Stress
Orthoses can help the foot better disperse stress during walking or running and redistribute forces to help alleviate pain.
Support & Stability
They can cushion and support stiff foot segments while helping stabilize areas that have too much mobility.
The Foot/Spine Connection
All parts of your body are linked together—and your feet are the foundation.
Structural imbalances in the feet can contribute to concerns throughout the body, including overpronation, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, knee pain, hip pain, low back pain, sciatica, and other stresses in the kinetic chain. Your feet do not have to hurt for foot mechanics to affect other areas.
When pain changes the way you walk, it may lead to pain in the knees, hips, and back. A foot scan or impression can show how imbalances in the feet may relate to problems elsewhere in the body. Orthotics are then made from your foot scan or impression.
Our team provides a detailed assessment because every person is different. Over-the-counter or custom orthoses are appropriate for some patients; others may not need them at all.
