Custom Orthotics in Chiropractic Care

You might not think about your feet when you visit a chiropractor. And if your chiropractor recommends orthotics, you might wonder why they are interested in the health of your feet at all. Below, Dr. Heng and the team at Edmond Chiropractic Center in Edmond, OK, answer these and more questions about custom orthotics in chiropractic care.

Why Do Chiropractors Offer Orthotics?

Most people don’t think about how two separate parts of the body – such as the back and the feet – can impact one another, but they do. A structural issue in your feet can lead to spinal misalignment, herniated discs, and other issues that cause back pain. It can even lead all the way up to the neck and head, causing headaches.

Likewise, a spinal misalignment can impact how you walk and how much pressure you put on each foot. This can lead to foot pain, shoes wearing out unevenly, and more.

Chiropractors don’t just take a look at and treat your spinal column. They assess and address everything that can impact your musculoskeletal health. When the feet are either causing an impact or are impacted by other musculoskeletal areas, custom orthotics are recommended.

What Types of Issues Do They Help Treat?

Orthotics are used for a wide range of issues throughout the body, including:

  • Back pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Arthritis
  • Knee pain
  • Hip pain
  • Bursitis
  • Heel spurs
  • Bunions
  • Improper foot mechanics
  • Gait issues
  • Tendonitis

They are also commonly recommended for people who work on their feet, such as nurses and servers.

What’s the Difference Between Custom and Retail Orthotics?

While retail stores do offer inserts for your shoes, they are typically designed simply to provide some extra comfort and support. And they are designed with a generalized foot in mind.

Custom orthotics are designed for the individual, their arch, their gait, and their specific issues, such as overpronation. They help level the foot so that weight is distributed evenly as it’s intended to be.
