Back Pain and Orthotics

Orthotics Stop Foot Pronation (rolling in)

Back pain is affected primarily by chronic cyclic loading of weight bearing as we walk where stresses of load bearing move from the foot to the spine.
Many times there are muscle groups affected such as the hamstring muscles which increases lordosis curvature of the spine and resultant building of compressive forces on the lumbar spinal facets
Custom Medical Grade Orthotics are vital in reducing the severe compressive forces affecting the back.
In addition stretching the hamstring muscles and calf muscles will help to relieve stress between the leg and pelvis.

It's usually caused when a herniated disk or bone spur in the spine presses on the nerve.
When the foot collapses the leg rotates excessively and pulls on the sciatic nerve thereby irritating the nerve causing pain in the hip and down the leg as the nerve roots become irritated.
Orthotics stabilize the twisting of the spine from the feet rolling in.
All Sciatica treatments should start with Custom Medical Grade Orthotics.

Orthotics have a long term proven record of success in treating Back Pain for many years because they stabilize the alignment of the lower leg to the spine.
Avoid drugs, surgery and drugs by trying a pair of Custom Orthotics first.
The foot greatly affects the back by balancing weight bearing of the foot, leg, hip and spine.
Always make sure the foot is in neutral and not rolled in (pronation) by using Custom Orthotics .

This is a common condition where the compressive forces of the spinal facets compress on the disc causing pain and irritation while walking.
If these compressive forces continue, the disc can bulge leaving it venerable to surgical intervention.
Stretching and custom orthotics can remove a lot of these compressive forces
Stretching the hamstring muscles and laying on you back grabbing you knee and pulling it to your chest also helps.

Controlling the motion of your feet stops the twisting and turning that often leads to Back Pain
Relief is obtained by stopping the twisting of the back with each step.
This is accomplished through the use of custom orthotics and stretching

Custom Orthotics have been around for many years. New 3D Imaging technology allows Orthotics to work more effectively due to accuracy of load bearing.
Always try custom orthotics first because they are cost effective and stabilize load bearing forces of the body as you walk and stand.
