Pes Perfect Custom Orthotic Innersoles
Foot pain can lead to trouble getting around, which can cause weight gain and weakness. Up to 87 percent of people have painful feet at some time in their lives for many different reasons. One-third of older adults have foot pain, stiffness, or aching feet. Many of these problems come from poorly fitting shoes, collapsing arches, or old injuries.
If you have any sort of foot issue, it’s likely that you’re changing the way you walk to avoid hurting it more. You may not even be aware that this is happening. This overcompensation and misaligned walking patterns can cause back pain, because it causes your spine to become misaligned as well. Your foot is not only important to your balance, but your whole back can be affected too.
Your feet can cause imbalance and posture problems as well. When your feet aren’t properly aligned with the rest of your body, it can throw your overall balance off as well. This makes you more prone to accidental slips and falls, which could result in further injury.
Custom orthotics are designed to provide support for the anatomical arches of your feet to give you more stability while you stand and walk. Although over-the-counter shoe inserts can also provide some comfort for your feet, they were not designed to conform to your individual foot, and will not provide optimal balance and support over the entire surface of your foot. In contrast, custom orthotics will specifically help to correct misalignments in your problem areas and provide support all along the surface of your feet. Unlike over-the-counter generic insoles, custom orthotics can correct foot abnormalities such as pronation (collapsed arches) and supination (high arches).
