CUSTOM PRESCRIPTION ORTHOTICS
WHY ORTHOTICS?
Your feet are a complex system of 52 bones, 66 joints, 214 ligaments and 38 tendons / muscles, containing 25% of all the bones in your body. In your lifetime your feet will take over 100 million steps, with every step causing an impact on your body. Abnormal stresses and structural problems in your feet can cause pain throughout your entire body. Whatever the source of your pain – consider the possibility that custom prescribed foot orthotics can help. This is a service Dr. Sean Starr offers in his practice.
Do any of the following affect you?
Plantar Fasciitis Sore feet
Ankle/Knee/Hip Pain Shin Splints
Post Surgery Knee Pain ITB Syndrome
Back/Neck Pain.
- If you answered yes to any of the above conditions you should be aware that faulty mechanics in the bones of the feet or pelvis may be the cause. Even if your feet don't hurt they may be contributing to problems in other areas of your body. If you are having pain or discomfort in any area from your feet to your neck, custom made orthotics may help bring you long term relief. Treat the cause & the pain goes away. Treat the symptoms and it will just keep coming back.

- What Does the Foot Scan Tell You?
There is a lot of information that can be retrieved by having a computerized foot scan. For example by looking at the results of a person's foot scan we would be able to better understand why a person may be suffering recurrent shin splints, knee or hip pain. If a person's feet are sore first thing in the morning or they have pain while walking on the balls of their feet, the scan will tell us why these things are likely occurring.
- If There is a Problem Discovered With the Feet What is the Next Step?
The best solution to counter problems with the feet is with custom made orthotics.
 Remember the story/song "the foot bone's connected to the knee bone..." Biomechanical problems with the feet can cause a kinematic chain of events resulting in aches and pains all the way to your hips and back. Orthotics are designed to counter any biomechanical problems in the feet and are the first step towards solving your overall biomechanical health.
