How do Orthotics work?
During the initial visit, it may be discovered that the patient has an improper gait cycle (walking pattern) or that
the arches of their feet have fallen. Your feet are your foundation! Just as the foundation of a building needs to be
solid and level so that it does not begin to crack or lean, so is it that our feet must do the same for us. If our
arches start to fall or have fallen, we are no longer level. This shift, along with gravitational forces baring down
on us every day, will begin to develop imbalances (which manifest as pain) in our spine and other bony structures. It
can start with the feet and ankles, then the knees, up to the hips and eventually, our necks. Yes, neck pain can stem
from our feet!
Dr. Gold uses a state of the art scanner to obtain the image of her patient’s feet while they’re in their natural stance. This digital image is sent electronically, and the patient receives their orthotics in about one week. The orthotics last for 2 years and are an affordable and very important part of bringing one’s body back to balance, while also decreasing pain.
