5 GOOD REASONS FOR CUSTOM-MADE ORTHOTICS
|
1. THE FEET ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THE BODY
Problems in the foundation can affect how the rest of the body is supported, in turn causing harmful stresses to joints and muscles above the feet.
2. 1/4 0F ALL THE BONES IN THE BODY ARE IN THE FEET.
There are 252 bones in the body. Each foot, in fact, contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons.
3. FAULTY ALIGNMENT OF THE FEET IS VERY COMMON.
Studies show that by the age of 20, 80% of people have some sort of foot problem. By the age of 40, 100% of people experience foot problems.
4. MOST FOOT MISALIGNMENTS DO NOT CAUSE PAIN IN THE FOOT. They instead create an unstable foundation that affects the ankles, knees, legs, hips, and back thus creating pain.
5. WHILE ON YOUR FEET, A LOT OF STRESS (KNOWN AS HEEL-STRIKE SHOCK) IS EXERTED ON THE BODY. For a 100-lb patient, 150 lbs of force per step is exerted on the body by walking. |
