Custom Orthotics & Foot Levelers in Howell, MI
Pain in your knees, hips or back may start at your feet. At Family Chiropractic in Howell, MI , we offer custom orthotics, including Foot Levelers, designed around your individual foot structure to improve alignment, comfort and stability.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom foot orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that support your feet and help promote proper foot and ankle alignment. Although they may look similar to store-bought insoles, custom orthotics are made from a scan or impression of your feet, so they address your individual foot structure and support needs instead of offering a one-size-fits-all cushion.
Why Your Feet Matter
Your feet are the foundation of your body. When the arches collapse or the feet roll inward (overpronation), the effects travel upward. The knees, hips, pelvis and spine all shift to compensate, which can lead to knee pain, hip pain, low back pain and even sciatica. Supporting the feet properly helps the rest of the body stay balanced.
Foot Levelers Orthotics at Our Howell Office
At our Howell office, we offer custom orthotic solutions, including Foot Levelers, to support proper foot function and alignment. Foot Levelers orthotics support all 3 arches of the foot and are crafted from a scan of your feet, giving you personalized support based on your unique needs.
Who Can Benefit From Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics may help if you:
- Spend long hours standing or walking at work
- Have flat feet, high arches or overpronation
- Experience foot, heel, knee, hip or back pain
- Are active in sports or recovering from a sports injury
- Have chronic pain that returns even after adjustments
- Have arthritis in the lower body joints
Whether you spend long days on your feet or stay active, the right orthotic support can improve comfort and stability during everyday activities.
How the Process Works
Dr. Adam Fasick begins with an exam to evaluate your posture, gait and foot structure. He then takes a scan or impression of your feet, and your orthotics are custom made to fit. Orthotics are available for work shoes, athletic shoes and casual footwear, and even for children.
Custom orthotics work best alongside chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises that help your body adapt to better alignment. Our team will help determine which orthotic option is right for you.
