Pain Relief Could Be Only Two Feet Away

Even if your feet don’t hurt, they may be a major factor contributing to your health problems. Spinal-pelvic misalignment is the culprit. Pain in various parts of your body may be traced directly to your feet! You may not be as fortunate as you think.

A foot problem may be the cause of discomfort or pain in your leg/hip, back, arm/shoulder or even your neck! Underwood Chiropractics selection of custom-made, flexible orthotics, Shoethotics�, or Sandalthotics� may be part of the solution to your health problems.

Take This Self-Test

Are you curious if custom-made orthotics can help you? Answer the following questions to see.

• Do you stand or walk on hard surfaces for more than 4 hours daily?
• Do you participate regularly in any physical sport (basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, etc.)?
• Are you age 40 or over?
• Have you had a prior knee injury, back injury, or neck injury?
• Do your shoes wear unevenly?
• Do you have joint pain while standing, walking, or running?
• Is one of your legs shorter than the other?
• Do you have knock knees or bow legs?
• Do you have obvious foot problems (bunions, corns, flat feet, etc.)?
• Do your feet “toe out” when you’re walking?

If you said YES to any of the questions in the Self-Test above, ask Dr. Don or Dr. Brent to discuss what options are available to help you.

It's All Connected

Your body is an interconnected system of specialized parts, and the support structure which holds everything together is made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Even if your feet don’t hurt, they may be contributing to your overall postural balance. If you’re having pain or discomfort in a specific area of your body — such as the list below — custom-made orthotics may be able to bring you relief.
