Orthotics & Orthopedic Shoes
KULHAY WELLNESS FOOTCARE orthotics can put “nature back in your shoes”!
WHEN YOUR HEAD HURTS, COULD IT BE YOUR FEET? Yes, it’s true . . . If you suffer from headaches, your feet could be the cause.
HERE’S WHY!
Our feet were originally designed to walk on soft ground—that’s why walking barefoot at the beach feels so good. But instead, most of us spend every day walking on hard pavement and floors.
These hard surfaces combined with hard-soled shoes, often cause our feet and ankles to struggle to retain their natural angle. This causes our feet to roll inwards and our arches to flatten.
As a result, we lose our natural footprints that we leave behind at the beach. This condition is called excess pronation and currently, over 50% of the population suffer from it. Sporting activities, prolonged standing and being overweight can make pronation even worse.
As our feet, ankles, and legs attempt to cope with this imbalance, a chain reaction of chronic aches and pains may travel literally from head to toe.
Besides mysterious headaches, these symptoms may include: low back pain, tired aching legs, weak ankles, knee pain, heel spurs, poor posture, bunions and corns. The true cure for these conditions is to treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
THE ANSWER IS TO CLAIM BACK YOUR FOOTPRINT
To restore your natural balance, correct excess pronation and to protect your feet from hard, flat surfaces . . . claim back your footprint! Orthotics can be the answer.
These custom-fitted shoe inserts work quickly and naturally by restoring the entire foot’s structure, both skeletal and muscular, to the correct position. In turn, our ankles and legs regain their natural balance and we regain our footprint.
With orthotics, you’ll claim back the footprint that the modern world took from you.
WHAT IS A CUSTOM-MADE ORTHOTIC?
Prescription orthotics are medical devices that are custom-made to correct abnormal foot and leg function.
Orthotics work on the feet the same way braces work on the teeth, i.e. by exerting gentle pressure to bring foot muscles and bones back into proper alignment. They fit comfortably into shoes and are made from a custom impression taken from your feet.
Your feet are gently and consistently forced into the correct functioning position for standing, walking and running. Pressure points, improper rotation of the foot, painful knee strain and abnormal forces on the legs, hips, knees and feet are eliminated because orthotics enable your feet to function properly.
