Now Offering Custom Insoles in Vallejo

Vallejo Chiropractic is proud to announce a new technology to the office.  We have recently incorporated a digital foot scanner for having custom insoles (orthotics) made.  We work with the company Foot Levelers, who have been making custom insoles for over 70 years, to bring high quality insoles to our clientele.  Not only do they make custom insoles, but they also make custom shoes as well as custom sandals and flip flops.

Many of us have seen commercials advertising custom insoles (orthotics) with the promise that they can help relieve foot pain, knee pain, low back pain, etc.  You may be wondering how effective these may be and whether custom insoles (orthotics) would be a benefit to you.  The most common foot problem is called pronation where the medial arch drops and starts to flatten the foot.  This can put more stress on the knees, which in turn can affect how the pelvis functions, which affects the lower back and can even cause effects all the way up to the neck.  This is what is called a kinetic chain and shows how one area/region of the body can affect other areas based on the interconnectivity of our musculoskeletal system.
