Your feet are the foundation of your body and they are also the two most abused parts of your body! Your feet are constantly absorbing the forces you generate through standing, walking, running and gravity itself. Your feet also help to protect your spine, bones and soft tissue as you move. If your feet aren’t properly supported, your body is pulled out of alignment causing stress and fatigue to your body. You start to feel pain in your back, neck, hips and ankles.I often see people come into my office wearing worn out and non-supportive shoes, and don’t even get me started on heels! As long as women wear heels, chiropractors will be in business!Don’t hesitate to invest in a good, stable pair of shoes that fit your feet perfectly. Walking around in worn out shoes or shoes that do not fit properly is comparable to have cracks in the foundation of your home. Just like your house, it is only a matter of time before you succumb to the laws of gravity. Without a stable base (your feet), your ankles, knees, hips and spine will suffer, leading to or perpetuating other physical problems.Investing in the right shoes for your feet or shoe inserts customized for your feet can reduce pain and help enhance your body’s performance, efficiency and overall wellness. I’d be happy to talk to you about the right shoes for your feet or custom inserts, just ask!
