What and Why Orthotics?

Orthotics are prescription “shoe inserts”. They’re made to easily slide into your shoe and support the shape of your feet. They replace the sole included with shoes and are designed to align the spine, hips, and neck. 

The benefit of using custom-made orthotics, rather than generic ones, is that they are perfectly fitted to you. 

Why do I need them “Custom-Made”

Your health is paramount. Wearing custom-made orthotics will ensure that you stay at the pinnacle of performance for the longest possible time. Orthotics optimize the body by:

• Providing momentum for movement 
• Permitting flexibility to accommodate changes in terrain
• Giving strength to support the weight of the entire body

When it comes to your health, custom-made is the only grade of product that will truly benefit you.

Custom-made functional orthotics 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. 

Orthotics Offer Three-Arch Support 

Foot Levelers functional orthotics support the three arches, the 26 bones and 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your foot. They help maintain the structure of the plantar vault to help balance. 

Generic orthotics only support one arch in your foot. When only one arch is being supported, problems can arise in other parts of the body.
