Custom Fitted Orthotics

Sometimes Chiropractic adjustments just aren’t enough to achieve the desired results of improved posture and spinal stability. When this occurs, I look to the feet. The reasoning is simple: when your heel hits the ground, the impact can be as great as 7 times your body weight. This can send a devastating shockwave through your body, causing imbalances in the knees, pelvis, spine, and even your neck. The results are pain, strains, and fatigue. If these joints are already misaligned or unstable, the results can be even worse.

Custom-made orthotics are custom-fitted sole inserts that are made specifically for you. They absorb the pressure of heel-ground impact and level your feet, keeping your body aligned and providing your feet with firm footing. The benefits are less pain, more energy, better balance, and more overall stability. These orthotics also speed up the results from your chiropractic care so that you can get back to living life without limits.

Foot Levelers, Inc. was founded in 1952, and over ten thousand health care professionals recommend custom-made orthotics and spinal stabilizers. I personally endorse Foot Levelers because of their track record of working hand-in-hand with the chiropractic profession to achieve spinal stability. They also have a tremendous customer service department.

Be sure to drink your water. When exercising in the summer heat, the athlete can lose over one ounce of water per minute but can only absorb one-third of an ounce of fluid per minute. Thus, it doesn't take long to become dehydrated. Dehydration can cause muscle cramping, fatigue and even heatstroke. Here's a summer tip: the day before an event, prepare your body by loading up on fluids (as much as 64-100 ounces more than usual is recommended). Then, two hours before activity, take about 32 ounces of fluid, and during activity, drink 4-6 ounces each 30 minutes during activity. This should prevent dehydration.
