ARCH SUPPORTS HELP CORRECT BODY POSTURE

Today I really need to tell people and my patients about the importance of our feet and the arches.  Most everyone has some sort of problems that develop in our feet, and these problems always end up causing other conditions that we have and we do not even know they are developing. 
Most people can take a good look at the bottom of their shoes and they will see uneven wear of the heal of the shoe or even the sole of the shoe.  Some people will even see that they are running the shoe over the side in the heal or the forward portion of the shoe either to the inside or outside of the shoe.  This is showing that there is a definite foot condition.  This will cause the patient or the person to develop early knee conditions or hip and spinal conditions, or they may start to develop muscle cramps in the lower leg.  While this is taking place you are slowly causing the arches of your feet to collapse.  There are three arches in each foot which most people or even some doctors over look.  There is a lateral, medial and a transverse arch right behind the ball of the foot, all three of these arches play a very important part of keeping the rest of our body in good balance and to avoid spinal, pelvic or knee conditions from developing.

I have treated hundreds of patients in the last 39 years for spinal conditions and at times have had a hard time getting the patients spine to get stable due to foot problems and arch problems and once we have scanned their feet and gotten the right arch supports in their shoes their spinal conditions became stable and held in place much better.

In the Mahnke Chiropractic Center we have a scanner that we use to scan the feet to see how the arches are being affected and from this we can generate a four to five page report of how your foot problems are affecting your body and your spine.  At the end of this report we then have a choice of three different arch supports that could be used to help make the corrections.  It will give us the best possible support and then the next best and then the lease best support to use for these corrections to be made..

If you have read this article and have noticed wear and tear on your shoes that are not even or have spinal conditions of knee conditions, I would highly recommend that you talk to our clinic staff and inquire about having your feet scanned.  It does not cost you anything to have the scan done and get the report, then if you would like to go with the supports then you will only have to pay for the cost of the supports.
Thank you for taking the time to read this article, now that you have come to the office and have your feet scanned so the corrections can be made to help your body have a better place to live.
