Choosing the Right Orthotics

Every orthotic needs to contain these 4 key elements. In this video, Dr. Sergey Kochelayev from Amazing Life Chiropractic and Wellness explains the benefits of custom orthotics. A good pair of orthotics may be able to completely change your life.

Four Key Points

First and foremost, your insert has to be custom. There’s just no way around it! More specifically, we’re not talking about going to your local retail store and just getting one of the five or six that are pre-made, we are truly talking about custom to you. If it doesn’t fit properly to you – how can it help?

Second of all, your orthotic has to be dynamic. What we mean, it has to bend nice and easy. For example, when you walk, your foot is dynamic; it moves, it bends and so does your shoe, so does your insert. Thus, your custom orthotic should be doing the same.

The third thing you should be looking for is support for the arches of your feet, which you actually have three of. Everybody knows the inside arch, but there’s also one going across your foot following your toes, one going down the length of your foot on the outside. If you’re missing one of those arches, its like having a tripod and with only two of the legs. Not very stable!

And lastly, we’re looking for a little bit of padding under the heel of your foot, which will give you additional comfort and support.

We recommend company called FootLevelers that we work with in our office. Their orthotics have a great warranty and all of the four key points we’re looking for in orthotics to be able to effectively support our skeletal system and reduce back, shoulder, hip, knee, and neck pain.
