ORTHOTICS PROVIDE 

NATURAL ALIGNMENT OF THE 

"FOOT AND LOWER LIMB"

Studies show that 75 percent of people experience foot problems at some point in their lives. These problems are common in all types of patients from children to seniors, from top athletes to people with sedentary lifestyles.

Here’s the story behind all our products: They provide natural alignment and may help relieve common foot problems.

LOSS OF YOUR “FOOTPRINT”

The human foot was originally designed to walk on natural, soft surfaces like earth and sand. Instead, we now spend most of the day on unnatural, hard, flat surfaces like pavements and floors. This loss of our “footprint” has resulted in a new modern variety of pain.

The normal lower limb has a 3- to 4-degree tibial varum (mild bow-legged) angle when approaching the ground. When the feet strike natural surfaces like earth and sand, these surfaces give way to accommodate the foot's strike angle. However, when the feet strike hard, flat surfaces like pavements and floors, the feet flatten and pronate excessively upon contact. Excess pronation may cause:

Medial plantar displacement of the talus upon the calcaneus

Lowering and elongation of the arch structure

Excess weight bearing over the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint

Excess medial lower-limb strain

Excess lateral upper-limb compensation
