How orthotics can help low back pain
Causes and Effects
The feet are the body’s foundation; they support its entire weight. If there isn’t enough support from the feet, various parts of the body—particularly the spine—can experience discomfort or pain because the kinetic chain is not aligned properly:
- Back, hip, knee and foot pain
- Poor posture and abnormal foot function
- Excessive shock transmission up through the body
- Impaired sports performance
- Greater risk of injury
An abnormal gait causes imbalances in the kinetic chain leading to pain, especially in the lower back.
Lower Back Pain Treatment
Some of the best treatments available are chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, massage and custom orthotics. Once your chiropractor evaluates your spine, custom orthotics will help balance your feet and support good posture. This combination of adjustments and custom orthotics reduces body stress and restores proper function to the lower extremities. It keeps you pain-free longer, strengthens your body’s foundation, and aligns the ankle, knees, pelvis, and spine.
What does the Research Say?
Foot Levelers custom orthotics are a promising treatment for chronic low back pain, according to a clinical trial, “Shoe Orthotics for the Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial,” published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
The link between foot support and back pain relief shows how feet are the foundation for overall body alignment.
For those considering custom orthotics from Foot Levelers, consulting with your chiropractor is crucial to determine suitability.
