Orthotics Can Help You Find Balance

Your life needs balance from your feet to the top of your head.  The team at Port Jefferson Chiropractic believe that Orthotics can help to balance your body by helping to provide a solid foundation.  Do you have back pain?  Do you feel off balance?  Do your feet hurt?  Orthotics may be the answer for you. 

What are orthotics?  They are inserts that fit into your shoes.  They are scientifically made to correct the imbalances in your feet to improve your gait and the balance in your entire body.

When you are in the office for an adjustment you can ask about Foot Levelers, which are custom made orthotics.  We use cutting edge technology to provide a perfect fit for your inserts.  First, you stand on our scanning machine and the computer analyzes the structure of your feet and designs an orthotic to correct your postural and foot issues.  The information is sent to Foot Levelers who manufacture your custom orthotics and they will be ready for you within 10 days.

A great example of a person who has benefited from Foot Levelers is Andrew (Virginia's husband).  Andrew was born with vision in only one eye and this greatly effected his gait and posture.  The lack of depth perception led him to lead with one side of his body and every movement was out of alignment.  The orthotics really and truly leveled him and his posture and gait (while wearing the orthotics) is corrected.  Even lifting weights at the gym is improved because his foundation is stable and balanced.

Have you noticed pain in your arches?  Maybe you don't have arches (flat feet).  Even leg pain can be alleviated by correcting your posture from you  feet up.  Ask someone to watch you when you walk.  Is your gait affected by your foot falls?  Do you swing your hip to one side or favor one side?

When you balance your foundation with orthotics you can help to balance your health.
