HOMEWOOD, Ala., Sept. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Back on Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Homewood, Alabama, is working to raise awareness about why custom orthotics are so important for everyone, not just people who have significant difficulty walking. "Custom orthotics are nothing at all like the inserts people purchase at supermarkets and pharmacies. These inserts are custom sized to match the exact contours of the individual wearer's feet," says Dr. Scott Duca, a chiropractor at the clinic who has served the local community for 20 years.
Dr. Scott Duca of Homewood, Alabama's Back on Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center wants to raise awareness in the area about the importance custom orthotics can have on spinal and overall health. The human is the foundation for the average body. It provides support for standing, walking and running. It is also instrumental in helping to protect bones, spine and soft tissues in the body from the impact of general movement.
Orthotics help to balance and stabilize the feet. The latest technology in custom orthotics involve foot levelers that enhance the way the body performs so that it operates more efficiently and without pain.
What many people do not realize is that abnormalities in the feet can actually affect their overall alignment. This means that it can cause postural imbalances that lead to a domino effect of problems and pain.
Custom orthotics help compensate for irregularities in the foot that could lead to all these other problems. Custom orthotics are recommended highly over supermarket one-size-fits all solutions because they cannot address specific unique needs that people have. In some cases, they can even lead to worsening problems by over-correcting smaller problems or attempting to adjust areas where correction is not needed.
Back on Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center has a state-of-the-art Foot Leveler scanner on-site that provides a 3-D, high resolution image of patients' feet that uses NASA based technology. This allows them to make custom Foot Leveler Orthotics that are perfect matches and fits for the feet of individual patients.
What sets Foot Leveler Orthotics apart from over-the-counter products – other than the fact that it is custom created for individual feet – is the fact that it supports the three-arch structure of the human foot. These arches control stability, flexibility, strength and momentum for movement.
Those with questions about custom orthotics are encouraged to call Back on Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center at 205-623-5782 to learn more or to schedule an appointment.
