Why you may need orthotics: Your Plantar Vault
When one of the 3 arches of your feet have "fallen" or are "flattened" you start to compress the small bones of your feet as you stand, step, walk, or run. This causes strain on your joints, tendons and muscles not only of your feet and ankles, but eventually the stress is followed up the chain, into your knees, hips and lower back. This results in ankle sprains/strains, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, tired achy feet, knee pain, hip pain and lower back fatigue.
Dr. John or Dr. Juliana can assess your gait, feet and arch positions to determine if custom fitted orthotics* can help you.
