Benefits and Biomechanics of Custom Foot Orthotics

Biomechanics of Custom Orthotics

Foot Levelers custom orthotics are designed to support the entire foot, rather than just the main arch, and are tailored to each individual’s unique foot scan. They provide customized support for all three arches of the foot; the medial arch, the lateral arch, and the transverse arch. Foot Levelers orthotics get high rankings for comfort because they are made with semi-flexible materials. The special material provides proper support of the foot while also allowing healthy foot motion during the gait cycle. Crest Chiropractic is a preferred chiropractor of Foot Levelers custom orthotics in Orem Utah. Here are the main benefits they offer:

1. Whole-Body Alignment

• The feet are the foundation of the body. When your feet are misaligned it can lead to a kinetic chain reaction of misalignments through the knees, hips, lower back and rest of your body. By balancing the feet, orthotics can correct alignment issues. At Crest Chiropractic we make sure to include a foot evaluation and a 3D laser scan in our exam process to ensure any issues that are caused by poor foot mechanics are identified in a timely manner.

2. Improved Comfort and Stability

• Foot Levelers uses premium materials for cushioning, shock absorption, odor reducing and moisture wicking technology.  
• They enhance balance and stability, which can reduce the risk of falls or injuries, especially for active patients or older adults.

3. Pain Relief

• Can help relieve common conditions such as:
   
  • Plantar fasciitis
   
  • Heel spurs
   
  • Toe pain
   
  • Shin splints
   
  • Low back pain
   
  • Knee and hip discomfort

4. Athletic Performance

• For athletes, orthotics help with proper biomechanics, improving gait efficiency and reducing fatigue.
• By enhancing stability, they may contribute to quicker recovery and lower injury risk.

5. Customization

• Unlike over-the-counter insoles, Foot Levelers orthotics are made from a 3D scan of the patient’s feet.
• Each insert is designed to fit the patient’s unique posture and support needs, including specialized designs for athletes, workers, or everyday use.
