Eliminate Foot Pain With Custom Orthotics

If you're like the average person, you walk approximately 7 000 to 8 000 steps a day, which equals about 1800 miles per year, and in your lifetime, you'll have walked several times around the globe. As humans, we're the only animals to walk straight up, which puts added stress on our 2 feet. We expect our feet to perform at their best every day, and when something happens to them, the quality of our lives can instantly diminish.

The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 112 ligaments, and 30,000 sweat glands, and no two feet are the same, yet ski boots and all types of shoes come in a limited selection of sizes.

An estimated 80% of the population have pronated feet (flat foot) and 10% have supernated feet (high arches), and only custom orthotics can provide the support feet need to cope with the stress that's placed on them every day.

Custom made orthotics redistribute your weight, increase your balance and strength, correct your body posture, and help prevent injuries. The more you can do to save, protect, and improve the health of your feet, the better your lifestyle will be.

Orthotics can also cure a number of foot conditions and the causes of foot pain, including:

• plantar fasciitis (arch pain)
• bunions
• heel spurs
• Morton's neuroma
• Hallux Valgus
• calluses and blisters
• orthotic neuroma
• inflammation
• shin splints
• bone spurs
• tears or ruptures of Achilles tendon
• bursitis
• tendonitis
• cramps
• blisters

Custom orthotics can also help with:

• ankle pain
• knee pain
• hip pain
• lower back pain
• neck pain

Many people try to improve their health by running every day or participating in other sports that have a high impact on their feet and other joints in the body, but intensive sports can quickly wear out knee joint cartilage and hip joint cartilage. Custom orthotics can help relieve impact, foot stress and fatigue, which can increase endurance, strength, and performance, as well as prevent injuries.

Jacques Thomas, owner of Le Feet Lab, worked for two years with renowned orthopedic doctor Biff Kramer, who taught him a great deal about feet and helped him develop his famous Le Feet Lab orthotic that's developed and made in the United States by Mark Brady of Footwork. Dr. Kramer remains a mentor, to this day.

Jacques frequently makes prescription orthotics for patients all across Colorado, including the Denver metro area and the Front Range. His orthotics are recommended by doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists.

Parents: It's a good idea to have your children diagnosed for foot imbalances or abnormalities before they reach puberty. As their bodies develop, particularly if they participate in high school sports, they're at risk for injuries during this growing stage.
