Custom Orthotics

Orthotics are custom-designed shoe inserts that support and align your feet, improving posture and alleviating discomfort in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are tailored specifically to the unique structure and biomechanics of your feet, ensuring optimal support and alignment. At JawSpine, we offer custom orthotics as part of our comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal health, helping you achieve better posture, improved mobility, and relief from chronic pain.

How Do Orthotics Work?

Your feet serve as the foundation of your entire body, and when they are not properly aligned, it can lead to a range of issues, from foot pain to chronic headaches. Custom orthotics work by:

Correcting Foot Alignment

Orthotics help to realign the bones and muscles of your feet, correcting imbalances that can lead to pain and dysfunction.

Distributing Pressure Evenly

By providing even support across your feet, orthotics reduce excessive pressure on specific areas, helping to prevent injuries like plantar fasciitis and reducing the risk of foot ulcers in diabetic patients.

Enhancing Shock Absorption

Orthotics cushion your feet and absorb the shock of walking or running, which helps protect your joints and reduce stress on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics in Chiropractic Care

At JawSpine, we believe that custom orthotics can play a crucial role in your overall chiropractic care plan. Here’s how orthotics can benefit you:

  • Alleviating Pain and Discomfort: Whether you suffer from foot pain, knee pain, hip pain, or lower back pain, custom orthotics can help alleviate discomfort by addressing the root cause—misalignment and improper foot mechanics.
  • Supporting Athletic Performance: For athletes, custom orthotics can provide the extra support needed to prevent injuries and enhance performance. By improving foot alignment and shock absorption, orthotics can help you stay active and injury-free.
  • Managing Chronic Conditions: Orthotics are particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, flat feet, and bunions. By providing the right support, orthotics can help manage symptoms and prevent the progression of these conditions.
  • Improving Jaw and Orofacial Function: While it may seem unrelated, foot mechanics can impact your overall posture and, in turn, affect your jaw and orofacial function. Proper foot alignment with orthotics can contribute to better overall alignment, potentially reducing stress on the jaw and alleviating symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).

Conditions Treated with Orthotics

Custom orthotics can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Flat feet (fallen arches)
  • High arches
  • Heel spurs

FAQ

At JawSpine, we take a personalized approach to creating your custom orthotics. The process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Comprehensive Foot Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment of your feet, including a gait analysis and examination of your posture. This allows us to identify any abnormalities or misalignments that may be contributing to your discomfort.
  2. Custom Mold or 3D Scan: We then take a precise mold or 3D scan of your feet to capture their unique shape and structure. This ensures that your orthotics are perfectly tailored to your needs.
  3. Creation of Your Orthotics: Your custom orthotics are then crafted based on the mold or scan. They are designed to provide the specific support and correction needed to address your condition.
  4. Fitting and Adjustment: Once your orthotics are ready, we will fit them to ensure they are comfortable and effective. We may make minor adjustments as needed to optimize their performance.
  5. Follow-Up Care: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your orthotics. This ensures that you continue to receive the maximum benefit from your custom inserts.
