Orthotics
If an imbalance or weakness exists in the mechanics of the foot it can alter one’s gait which will eventually affect the whole lower body. Custom orthotics can be prescribed to help with the foot mechanics and proprioception to allow a proper gait cycle. This can lead to a reduction or elimination of foot, ankle, shin, knee, hip and lower back pain.
At Westside Chiropractic, Dr. Sunderland and Dr. Ulrichsen can assess your gait cycle and the area of concern to determine if an orthotic is necessary. A custom foot mold of the feet is taken at the clinic and is sent out to the lab for fabrication. The process usually takes approximately two weeks.
