Maintaining an active lifestyle is important at any age. Unfortunately,
many seniors are unable to be as active as they would like to be
because of pain.
Often, the dysfunction that causes the pain has existed for years
without the patient actually feeling any discomfort. The feet are
the foundation of the rest of the body. If they are not functioning
properly, this can lead to pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hip
or lower back. As we age, we often have additional factors that
contribute to the pain: diabetes, arthritis, weight, swelling, and
stiffness.
Custom foot orthotics help maintain proper foot and ankle position
thereby removing abnormal stress and strain throughout the entire
body, relieving pain and allowing the patient to maintain or regain
their active lifestyle.
