People Sometimes wonder how orthotics can correct
knee or hip problems. Have you ever had a blister on the bottom
of your foot? If you have, you know that you try not to put pressure
on it. You change the angle of your foot when you walk and the
next thing you know, your knee or hip hurts because you're walking
differently.
Or,
you may have a sore back or hip, and when you alter the way you
walk to compensate, your feet to begin to hurt. There are many
reasons for aches in the back, legs, and feet - accidental trauma,
poorly fitting shoes, or simply signs of age.
That's why people whose feet or legs are not "biomechanically
correct" or in perfect alignment, often experience pain in
other parts of their body.

Orthotics correct the movement of the foot, and that relieves
the problems in the legs and hips.
It Takes A
Computer To Make Orthotics This Perfect
There's a secret to making orthotics that give
you exactly the right correction - accurate measurements of the
way you walk. In the past, doctors relied on plaster or foam casts
to get an impression of the feet. Unfortunately, these casts record
only the shape of the foot at rest. When a plaster cast is made,
the foot is not bearing any weight, nor is it in motion. People
develop foot problems while moving and bearing their body weight,
not sitting.
Footmaxx orthotics are made from measurements
that are taken by a computer while your feet are in motion and
weight bearing.

people think they have to live with it, or hope it will just go

Why do people have problems with their feet? It's
simple. The foot is always in motion and under enormous pressure
from the body's weiht. As we walk or run, our entire weight lands
on our feet, up to 10,000 times a day.
Doctors and
scientists know that with the proper support, most problems with
feet, and in many cases, legs and lower back, can be remedied.
