If you’ve ever struggled with plantar fasciitis, you know just how painful it can be. You can try to stay off your feet and rest for a week, but the pain often comes right back the next time that you exercise.
If you get aching knees after an hour of playing pickup basketball, your first thought might be to head to the drugstore to buy some insoles for your shoes. They might provide a bit of relief for a day or two, but eventually you’re right back where you started.
Your foot strikes the ground based on your specific gait. The way you walk and the way your body is built.
For maximum, long term pain relief, you need an insole that is customized to your own feet. Foot Levelers are custom orthotics in Springfield Missouri that work to keep your feet balanced evenly. This can take pressure off your spine and relieve pain and discomfort in your body.
Why Foot Levelers?
You can’t find the perfect insole in a store, which is why Foot Levelers are customized to your foot. We have a special scanner that you stand on as it measures your feet for muscle imbalances and postural imperfections. Your scan is used as a blueprint for an insole designed specifically for you.
Functional orthotics are prescription “shoe inserts.” They’re custom-made to easily slide into your shoe and support the unique shape of your feet. They replace the generic insole included with shoes and are designed to align your spine, hips, and neck.
Just as everyone has a unique personality, everyone has a unique body structure and foot shape. The benefit of using custom-made orthotics, rather than generic, mass-produced ones, is that they’re perfectly fitted to your feet and your body.
Types of Insoles
Foot Levelers has templates for insoles based on different activity levels. These templates are then configured to fit your specifications.
If you walk on hard floors all day, then you’ll have different needs than someone who spends most of the workweek at a computer desk. Foot Levelers has an insole geared toward athletics, social events, pregnancy, factory work, and more. You can even find options for kids.
Because you use different shoes in different activities it’s a good idea to invest in orthotics for each type of shoe.
What Do Foot Levelers Help With?
Customized orthotics will provide perfect support for your foot and help balance out common concerns like flat feet, high arches, pronation and supination. When your weight is evenly distributed, you can expect joint pain to decrease because your body is no longer overcompensating.
When it comes to your health, custom-made is the only grade of orthotics that will truly benefit you. Posture starts from the ground up. Custom-made, functional orthotics in Springfield Missouri help maintain the foot’s three-arch structure called the plantar vault, which helps correct spine, neck, and hip alignment. Generic, over-the-counter orthotics only support one arch, and are manufactured to fit the “average” foot.
Foot Levelers are also great for athletes and active people. They can help stabilize you as you run or move quickly, which makes common athletic injuries like sprains, strains or plantar fasciitis less likely. Foot Levelers can also prevent injuries, saving you time and money in the long run.
You could go to the store and buy the cheaper orthotics. You can also get reading glasses that aren’t your prescription, or the over-the-counter pain medicine that only masks your symptoms.
The difference in our functional orthotics is focused on your overall health. They offer more than just short-term symptom relief. Functional orthotics help support whole-body wellness for a lifetime.
