Orthotics & Structural Support: Building a Stronger Foundation for Whole-Body Health
At Stoiber Healthcare, S.C., we understand that optimal health starts from the ground up. Your feet are the foundation of your body’s alignment, and imbalances there can cause a ripple effect of pain and dysfunction throughout the entire musculoskeletal system. That’s where orthotics and structural support come in.
What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are custom-designed shoe inserts that support, align, and improve the function of your feet. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are tailored to your unique foot structure, gait, and postural needs—helping correct imbalances that may contribute to pain in the knees, hips, back, or even the neck.
Why Structural Support Matters
When your foundation (your feet) is unstable, the body must compensate elsewhere. These compensations can lead to:
- Chronic low back or hip pain
- Knee and ankle instability
- Poor posture and spinal misalignment
- Plantar fasciitis and foot fatigue
- Reduced effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments
By providing proper arch and heel support, orthotics help stabilize the entire kinetic chain—from your feet all the way to your spine.
Integrating Orthotics with Chiropractic Care
We assess more than just your spine. Our chiropractic evaluations often include foot posture, gait analysis, and weight distribution tests. When needed, we recommend custom orthotics to complement your chiropractic adjustments, ensuring long-lasting alignment and support.
Benefits of Custom Orthotics Include:
- Enhanced postural balance and stability
- Improved alignment and biomechanics
- Reduced joint and soft tissue strain
- Better support during exercise or daily activities
- Increased comfort and energy levels throughout the day
Is Structural Support Right for You?
If you’re experiencing recurring pain, uneven wear on your shoes, or difficulty maintaining chiropractic adjustments, it might be time to consider custom orthotics.
