True Custom, Biomechanical Foot Orthotics

An orthotic is a supportive device which is placed inside your shoes to change the mechanical function of your feet. It works dynamically during weight-bearing activities like walking, running, and standing. Ideally, orthotics should provide full, custom and corrected arch contact so the foot works in a biomechanically correct manner. Sole Supports manufactures a full arch contact orthotic. Many orthotics are not full contact because they are just cushions or they are more generic and offer insufficient arch support. 

The foot is designed to unlock, or pronates, when it hits the ground for shock absorption and to conform to variable terrain. Then it must lock, or supinate, for efficient leverage as we propel ourselves forward onto the next step. When either of these phases is excessive, the foot has faulty mechanical function. Ninety percent or more of us over-pronate or our arches flatten too much when our foot hits the ground and it doesn’t lock enough to support forward movement. About four percent of us are over-supinators with high, rigid arch structure. Then the problem is poor shock absorption and weight-bearing pressure concentrated in a few spots. Pain and deformity can arise in the feet such as bunions, plantar fascitis, corns, and hammertoes. The function of your feet affects the entire chain of bones leading to the spine. Your feet can cause pain and dysfunction in your knees, hips, and low back. 

The Sole Support orthotics casting and customization was developed by a podiatrist.  They are made at such a high degree of support. They actually change the way your foot works and are also comfortable. When normal foot function is restored the body can heal itself. For more information on this product, see www.SoleSupports.com.
