Newmarket Orthotics

Orthotics in Newmarket

Custom Newmarket orthotics do more than support your feet.  If your foot alignment (posture) is off, then your entire body posture might be as well.  This can have profound effects on your health over time.  If you have never had your feet assessed, you may not know if this is contributing to a spinal health problem.

Does this describe you?

• your feet hurt?

• you feel fatigued by the end of your day?
• you have low back, mid-back, or neck pain

Orthotics, Adjustments, and Posture

Orthotics play a crucial role in supporting chiropractic adjustments and improving overall posture. By providing customized support to your feet, orthotics help create a stable foundation for your entire body. This stability reduces stress on your spine and joints, allowing your chiropractic adjustments to hold longer and more effectively. When your feet are properly aligned, it can correct imbalances in your posture, improving the way you stand, walk, and distribute weight. Over time, this reduces strain on the muscles and ligaments, minimizes compensations, and supports better alignment throughout your body, enhancing both your comfort and your overall health.
