The Difference - Stabilizing Orthotics vs. Arch Supports

If your feet don't get proper support from your footwear, simple movements such as walking, running, and jumping can eventually pull your body out of alignment, causing stress and fatigue to your lower body. Devices commonly known as arch supports are highly recommended as they are designed to reinforce your feet, saving you from the pain and discomfort of a misaligned body.

The feet are the most abused parts of the human body. From regular activities such as walking and running to more intense actions such as dancing and playing sports, the feet consistently absorb the force generated by body weight and gravity combined. And without proper support, your feet will be overwhelmed by the constant stress. This will lead to arch pain or plantar fasciitis–a very common condition affecting the plantar fascia that can be difficult to treat if not looked after properly.

Other conditions you may develop from unsupported arches include: low back pain, neck pain, hip pain, and ankle pain. 

To ensure that your feet stay in good form, inserting arch supports on top of each shoe's insole is often recommended by over-the-counter manufacturers. However, it's important to note that not all arch support inserts are made the same. Most arch support insoles, especially over-the-counter arch support for flat feet, are designed to only assist a single arch on each foot. Such generic products often overcorrect one arch, causing more harm than good as discomfort will only shift from one area of the body to another. Furthermore, over-the-counter products may not be very durable, and may result in more costs due to frequent replacement.

Here at Pinnacle Chiropractic, we recognize the fact that there are three arches that form the plantar vault, and that all three need orthotic reinforcement to properly support the rest of your body. This is why we offer individually designed Stabilizing Orthotics based on impressions of your feet. This ensures that our products are tailored to your specific stabilizing needs for longer-term symptom relief.

Even better, our Stabilizing Orthotics are created using Foot Levelers' patented Gait Cycle System®. This ensures your feet are provided with adequate shock absorption and support through each phase of the gait cycle.
