The Role of Your Shoes
Running shoes, walking shoes, court shoes, ski boots or fashion footwear all have one role in common: to provide your foot with the support it needs to provide balance and carry the weight of your body. When you consider the many complex moves you make during sports or everyday tasks, you can understand what amazing structures your feet are.
Most of the work of the foot is performed by the arches and heels. When these structures are not properly supported, a number of problems can arise, including pain in and damage to the feet, ankles, shins, knees, hips and lower back. Since no two feet are alike (even your own two feet differ in shape and size), it is virtually impossible for a pair of shoes that are not custom made to fully support the structures of your feet.
The Role of Orthotics
Custom orthotics are not just for foot problems. To function to the best of their ability, your feet need proper support at all times. Arches and heels that are properly supported are key to balancing the body without muscle strain.
To ensure your feet are able to function at their best, doctors often prescribe an orthotic device. Many athletes find their performance is greatly enhanced through use of orthotics, just as “everyday” performance may be improved in non-athletes.
New technologies now allow you to benefit from customized orthotics without great expense. Many people are therefore viewing orthotic devices as a way to prevent the foot problems that lead to back pain and other discomforts.
Supporting your foot in just the right way can significantly improve comfort, reduce pain and improve the performance of your footwear, allowing your body to function at its very best.
