Foot & Ankle Pain

We can't think of a better place for help with ankle and foot problems than Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic + Acupuncture.  Our clinic has multiple doctors trained in the function of the feet in addition to state of the art technology to actually scan your feet and see where your imbalanced pressures are.

Our foot is made up of 26 tiny bones that must work in proper unison and function. If only one of these bones is misaligned or not functioning properly pain and discomfort can and usually will result. The foot also contains a multitude of ligaments, tendons and muscles which are directly affected by these misalignments. Slips, falls, athletics, sports injuries, traumas, sprains and strains to our feet can lead to these misalignments. Simple and proper adjustments to correct alignment issues in the foot can decrease pain and increase function. The proper mechanics and workings of the foot are terribly important as these misalignments will usually alter your walking or step pattern and lead to causing knee, hip and lower back problems.

So What if we need orthotics or insoles?

We use Foot Levelers orthotics which are not ordinary orthotics. In fact, they are named something different because they are something different.

 What are Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers?
Our Stabilizers are shoe inserts that support all three arches in your feet thereby creating a stable foundation upon which to build proper body posture. Each is custom-made to stabilize your spine and pelvis by correcting the specific imbalances in your feet.

It’s Not Just About Foot Pain
You don’t have to experience foot pain to be prescribed Stabilizers. In fact, imbalances may occur even if your feet feel fine. Before you know it, you’re suffering from pain and fatigue in other areas of the body, often due to postural misalignment that results from imbalances in your feet.

The Process
At Foot Levelers, we custom design our Stabilizers through an impression or imaging process, depending on the preference of your healthcare professional.

Your doctor will get an exact impression of your feet, using a digital foot scanner.
He or she will then determine which Stabilizers are right for you, based on the results of the scan or cast. A variety of styles are available for all activity levels and shoe styles.
The digital scan is sent to the Foot Levelers laboratory.
Skilled technicians build your custom-made Stabilizers using 16 precise measurements based on their analysis of your feet. Your lifestyle, age, weight and activity level are all considered when we create your custom-made Stabilizers.
The Stabilizers are sent back to your healthcare provider, who will show you how to wear and care for them.
Foot Levelers’ custom-made Stabilizers help promote a healthy, natural, skeletal alignment for total body health.

Testimonial
"Now that I have accepted that I am not in my 20's anymore where I could easily wear 6" heels and not fear of tripping..
lo and behold it happened to me, I tripped from one step and twisted my ankle - ouch!
and a couple of months later my ankle and my foot hurt very badly to the point i couldn't walk.. without support..

I went to my reliable PCP but she had no answer - I found a chirpractor through a colleague at work that is like no office I have ever been too. They looked an my whole body and especially my foot and ankle. Lo an behold after only 2 sessions of foot treatments and a back bone check my foot started returning to normal. Its covered under insurance and the follow ups are recommended and then its up to you , they don't pester you to come after you feel better, but I did follow their recommendations and it has paid off!
