The biomechanics of how we move is often overlooked in healthcare.
The fact is if we are out of alignment on a continual basis, much like driving with worn tires on your car, parts will experience unnecessary wear and tear which can lead to break down and disease.
Maintaining proper alignment starts with your feet. What you put on them is important. You can buy the very best sneakers and shoes but if they are not customized to counteract balance on your body, in particular, you can still develop issues. The causes of altered biomechanics can range from pronated feet / flat footed / collapsed arches which cause an altered gait, degenerative scoliosis, teenage scoliosis, trauma, asymmetrical muscle imbalance, altered gait from secondary to a primary knee and even hip problems.
Getting back in balance by way of regular chiropractic treatments is incredibly beneficial, but there is more you can do on your own every single day with no effort. Come in and let Dr. Kaster scan your feet with the Foot Levelers state of the art foot scan and create a pair of custom shoe inserts to be worn daily in your sneakers and or shoes.
As you can see below, we have an image showing an optimal foot, mild pronation, moderate pronation, and severe pronation. The more pronated (turned out) your feet are, the higher risk of knee, hip problems, and degenerative scoliosis. Ideally, your stance would have the weight distributed properly as in the first image of footprints below. This is the difference between your current stance and your corrected stance when wearing Foot Levelers.
THE SCIENCE
Foot Levelers Stabilizing Custom Orthotics were developed by a Doctor to treat the body as a functional unit, starting with the feet. Custom Orthotics add power to your step by supporting the three arches in each foot to provide a balanced foundation and protect and support through all phases of gait. The Gait Cycle System® is patented and is only available from Foot Levelers.
Orthotics can help:
Increase Energy
Enhance Performance
Improve Strength
Provide More Stamina
3 Arch Advantage™: Support for your 3 Arches
The feet are the foundation of the body. They provide the necessary stability to perform daily activities by supporting the weight of the entire body using a strong, 3-arched bond called the plantar vault.
