Foot Orthotics are devices that fit inside your shoes to help stabilize and correct poor foot posture.
The foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. We tend to take this for granted until something goes wrong or we develop pain.
Biomechanical problems affecting the feet can increase stresses within the foot structures and the surrounding soft tissues, creating localized pain in the foot, ankle and also problems in the lower limbs, knees, hips and back.
Correction of poor foot biomechanics with Foot Orthotics can improve and prevent many types of symptoms such as:
Children and Adult Pes Planus (Collapsed Arches or Flat feet) not only cause biomechanical dysfunction in the feet and ankles but also throughout the body. Foot Orthotics can help correct this condition.
The aim of a Foot Orthosis is to correct dysfunctional biomechanics and therefore:
Reduce pain
Provide support
Prevent or halt the development of foot deformity
Provide better positioning
Relieve pressure on a certain area of the foot
Improve the overall biomechanical function of the foot
Improve pelvic alignment
Reduce lower limb torsion and knee stress due to excessive foot pronation
Foot Pronation leads to Internal rotation of the lower leg. The most common result of this is knee and or foot pain. When such conditions become chronic, it can eventually lead to pain in the hips, back and even shoulders and neck.
Foot Orthotics are able to correct the biomechanical collapse of the foot structures and improve midfoot and hindfoot alignment.
This allows joints to be aligned correctly and promotes efficient transmission of biomechanical forces.
In some cases the problem may lie in a number of areas, such as poor posture, pelvic misalignment, leg length discrepancies, tight or poorly toned muscles.
Osteopathic Care along with Foot Orthotics when necessary can aid to improve body alignment and therefore posture (structure) which in turn will improve day to day function and sports performance including tennis, golf, long distance running etc.
