Orthotics

Dr. Gary Baker uses the outmost hi-tech and specialized computerized scanner system for your treatment to create an exact detail of your feet to determine just the right orthotics you need to bring perfect balance to your body.

Feet provide the base for your entire body, and even a slight misalignment can disturb the supra structure above them. This can result in spinal misalignment, foot, knee, hip and neck problems, strained muscles, leg length discrepancy, poor posture, and even discomfort while standing, walking or running. SuperFeet’s patented rear-foot control point helps control over-pronation, while its mid-foot control point stabilizes and enables the wearer to use their whole skeletal strength thereby creating less muscle fatigue and more endurance.

Foot orthotics encompasses the field of knowledge about improving the function of the foot. The use of foot orthotics has gained acceptance and popularity in recent years. Approximately 80-90 percent of the athletes who come into my office need a foot orthotic.

Many sports injury professionals do not realize that many athletic overuse injuries of the lower extremities are caused by poor foot biomechanics. The successful sports chiropractor must be able to diagnose and treat overuse injuries caused by inadequate foot biomechanics.

The most common biomechanical abnormality of the foot is overpronation. It has been estimated, by several well-known authors, that 60-90 percent of the general population overpronates somewhat. Many injuries to the body may be due to overpronation. Overpronation of the foot may cause pain in the leg, knee, hip or lumbosacral region.

A custom foot orthotic is a speciality device customized for each individual. An orthotic fits comfortably inside the shoe, and redistributes your body weight through correct areas of the foot. The result? A more efficient you!

If you actively participate in athletics or your job keeps you "on your feet all day", orthotics have been proven to reduce body stress and improve ability and performance.
