Custom Foot Orthotics

Custom Foot Orthotics at Kurv O2 Advanced Chiropractic

Correcting Alignment from the Ground Up

At Kurv O2 Advanced Chiropractic, Functional Health & Spinal Ligament Injury Center, we understand that true structural correction doesn’t stop at the spine—it starts from the ground up. That’s why we offer custom foot orthotics as a vital part of many treatment plans, especially when addressing postural imbalances, chronic pain, and spinal alignment issues.

Why Feet Matter in Spinal Health

The feet are the foundation of your body’s structure. Imbalances or dysfunction in the feet can cause a domino effect of misalignment through the knees, hips, pelvis, and spine—leading to pain, poor posture, and structural compensation elsewhere.

When the arches collapse or one leg is functionally longer than the other, your body tries to adapt. Over time, these compensations can lead to chronic back, hip, knee, and even neck pain.

Functional vs. Structural Leg Length Inequality

Understanding the type of leg length discrepancy is critical for designing the correct support and treatment:

• Functional Leg Length Inequality Caused by muscle imbalances, pelvic misalignment, or poor posture—not a true difference in bone length. Common in patients with scoliosis, flat feet, or improper gait.
• Structural Leg Length Inequality A true difference in bone length, often from birth, trauma, or surgery. Structural discrepancies can cause chronic strain on one side of the body and lead to significant compensation patterns in the spine and pelvis.

At Kurv O2, we assess both types using digital posture scans, structural analysis, digital X-rays, and physical examination to determine whether orthotic correction or heel lift intervention is appropriate.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are precision-crafted shoe inserts designed to support your unique foot structure and biomechanics. Unlike over-the-counter inserts, our orthotics are tailored to your specific structural needs and integrate seamlessly with your chiropractic care plan.

We use advanced digital scanning and gait analysis to create orthotics that correct alignment issues, stabilize foot function, and promote proper kinetic chain movement throughout the body.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics at Kurv O2:

• Align the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine
• Reduce pain in the lower back, hips, knees, and feet
• Improve posture and walking gait
• Reduce compensation patterns and muscular fatigue
• Enhance athletic performance and injury prevention
• Provide relief for plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and heel spurs
• Correct leg length discrepancies
• Aid in scoliosis and structural rehabilitation treatment

How They Work with Structural Chiropractic Care

Custom orthotics are not just comfort devices—they are an extension of your structural rehabilitation. At Kurv O2, we integrate orthotics into your treatment plan to maintain spinal alignment between visits, reduce reinjury, and improve outcomes for conditions like scoliosis, disc herniations, pelvic instability, and more.

Orthotics support the integrity of spinal corrections achieved through Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), the Pettibon System, and other structural techniques used in our clinic.

What to Expect

• Full postural and gait evaluation
• Leg length and pelvic alignment screening
• Digital scan and impression of your feet
• Orthotic fitting and follow-up to ensure optimal function
• Optional heel lift recommendations for structural discrepancies
