Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are special insoles for your shoes that realign your feet into a more normal or balanced position.
Your feet are your foundation. Poor alignment or faulty mechanics at your feet can affect function and alignment of joints higher up in your body via the kinetic chain. This can cause or contribute to pain at the feet, ankles, hips, the back and even the neck. Thus...
The key for better HEALTH for your BODY can be right under your FEET.
Dr. Miron orders custom orthotics from The Orthotic Group using Gait Scan Technology. This involves having you walk barefoot across a pressure mat which records how much and where you are putting pressure on your feet as you walk or stand. Your unique scan is compared to an ideal foot to design a custom orthotic which will correct your specific mechanical issues.
