How Podiatry Fits In![]() Dr. Widen knows that a patients' feet may be a major contributing factor in any health problem they may have. Spinal misalignment due to a gradual collapse of normal foot structure over an extended period of years, can cause stress and pain in joints, muscles and ligaments. When the human body is in a standing position - whether walking or running, the feet act as the base of support for the entire body. If the feet are not stabilizing the lower extremity, this will cause torsion in the pelvis which creates many spinal problems. Orthotics bring proper support by correcting abnormal foot positions which contribute to musculoskeletal dysfunction. Poor mechanical support of the foot can also cause problems such as bunions, heel pain, hammertoes, ankle pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and even TMJ and headaches. Podiatry can be beneficial in the treatment of numerous musculo-skeletal complaints. Orthotics Prescription biomechanical foot orthotics create a more normal function of the feet and legs by maintaining the body's angular relationships between the bones of the feet and the leg. The orthotics are designed with "control posts" that subtly move into specific positions at specific phases in your walking or gait cycle. Dr. Widen recommends ALZNNER orthotics. His experience reveals that they bring your feet close to perfect form, function and balance. ALZNNER orthotics position all the bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles of the feet more correctly - so you can walk, work and play better! |
