Foot Levelers

Your feet could be causing your back pain.

I use Foot Levelers Custom Orthotics to correct the problem.  All parts of your body are linked together and your feet are the foundation of your body's structure. That is why it is crucial to have proper foot support.

When the vast majority  of people walk, their foot rolls in. It's natural and it's called pronation. Pronation becomes a problem when it becomes excessive. 

When you overpronate, the rest of your body begins to suffer. This includes pain in the knee, hip and back.

The foundation provided by the feet and legs must bear the weight of the entire body. If there is insufficient or inadequate support from your feet, the spine will be exposed to abnormal stress which may eventually develop into low back pain.

If this treatment is correct for your individual case I take a foot impression which is sent to Foot Levelers to create your custom stabilizing Orthotic Foot Leveler.
