Orthotics at Denny Chiropractic & Acupuncture
Many people don’t realize how much their feet influence the way their knees, hips, pelvis, and spine move. When the foundation isn’t working well, the rest of the body has to compensate — often leading to discomfort, fatigue, or recurring tension.
Our custom orthotics provide functional support, helping your body move the way it was designed to
Why Orthotics?
Your feet are your base of support. When arches collapse or mechanics change, it can contribute to:
-
Foot or heel discomfort
-
Knee or hip strain
-
Low back or SI joint irritation
-
Fatigue with standing or walking
-
Postural imbalance
-
Recurrent tightness despite stretching or chiropractic care
Custom orthotics help restore balance and efficiency so your body doesn’t have to work as hard.
Custom Foot Levelers Orthotics
We use Foot Levelers, a trusted leader in functional custom orthotics. These are not generic inserts — they are designed from a 3‑D scan of your feet, taking into account:
-
Arch height
-
Weight distribution
-
Gait mechanics
-
Structural asymmetries
-
Daily activity demands
Each pair is built to support your feet in all three arches, improving stability from the ground up.
How We Determine If Orthotics Are Right for You
Orthotics are never a first‑step recommendation here. They’re considered only when clinically appropriate and after a full evaluation.
1. Foot & Ankle Examination
We assess arch function, joint mobility, muscle balance, gait mechanics, and weight‑bearing posture.
2. Functional Movement Assessment
We look at how your feet influence knee alignment, hip rotation, pelvic balance, and spinal mechanics.
3. Review of What You’ve Already Tried
Including footwear changes, stretching or strengthening, and over‑the‑counter inserts.
If OTC options haven’t been sufficient, custom orthotics may be part of your care plan.
