Maximize Your Benefits and Spinal Health: Why Custom Orthotics Matter at West LA Chiropractic™
At West LA Chiropractic™, we know that true healing starts from the ground up—literally. Your feet are the foundation of your entire musculoskeletal system. When that foundation is unstable, it can lead to a ripple effect of misalignment, impacting your knees, hips, and spine. This often contributes to chronic lower back pain, poor posture, and even nerve-related issues like sciatica.
If you're currently receiving non-surgical spinal decompression therapy at our clinic—or dealing with persistent back or leg pain—addressing your foot mechanics could be the missing piece to lasting relief.
The great news? Custom orthotics may be eligible under your Flexible Spending Account (FSA), allowing you to use pre-tax dollars to invest in your long-term health. And with the end of the year approaching, now is the ideal time to make the most of those benefits before they expire.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are not the same as store-bought insoles. Unlike generic inserts found at your local pharmacy, custom orthotics are prescription-grade medical devices designed specifically for your feet.
Each pair is crafted using a precise mold or 3D scan, ensuring a perfect fit and targeted correction for your unique biomechanics. They support your arches, correct imbalances, and promote proper foot function with every step—helping to realign your entire body from the ground up.
The Foot-Spine Connection: Why Alignment Matters
When your feet are misaligned, the effects travel upward through your body. This can lead to:
🦶 Poor Posture: Flat feet or collapsed arches often cause compensations like forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and excessive curvature in the lower spine.
🦶 Joint Stress: Misalignment puts extra strain on your knees, hips, and spine, increasing wear and tear over time.
🦶 Sciatica Aggravation: An unstable gait can place more pressure on the sciatic nerve, worsening symptoms like radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling.
Supporting Your Spinal Decompression Results
If you’re currently undergoing spinal decompression therapy with the DRX9000™ at West LA Chiropractic™, incorporating custom orthotics can significantly enhance your results. Here’s how:
🔹 Maintain Proper Alignment: Orthotics support your adjustments and decompression results by keeping your posture balanced between sessions.
🔹 Reduce Relapse Risk: Stabilizing your foundation helps prevent the recurrence of pain
