The
Foot/Spine Connection
Good health starts with the feet!
Are you one of the many who have never heard about the connection between your feet, spine, and good health?
Over 99% of all people have pronation1 problems! As Foot Levelers puts it, this is a pronation epidemic. That’s a staggering percentage affecting millions of people’s biomechanical system.
The Bio Kinetic Chain
All parts of our body are linked together to make up the bio kinetic chain. If one part hurts or doesn’t work properly, our entire body is affected. We all know this to be true. Our bodies have many parts but work as one body.
When something goes wrong with one of our parts and we experience pain, traditional medical doctors attempt to treat patients using prescriptions or surgery. Here at Winterbottom Family Chiropractic, our process is different. We analyze your symptoms, observe data through 3D scans and x-rays, pinpoint the root cause of the problem, and apply treatment.
Even though treatment will involve chiropractic techniques, it usually begins with Foot Levelers Custom Orthotics. Why? Because our feet are the “foundation” for the rest of the body and Foot Levelers has a tremendous reputation for making the best custom orthotics on the planet. Since 99% of all people have foot pronation (often causing imbalances and stresses in the knees, which in turn puts stress on the hip, back, and even our neck), custom orthotics are a vital solution to whole body health. This is the bio kinetic chain in action. When our feet are stabilized and in balance, the rest of the kinetic chain will function as it should – pain free! But when our feet are pronated and de-stabilized, the rest of the kinetic chain will be negatively impacted – typically resulting in pain and loss of function.
