Foot biomechanics play an immense role in how the whole body moves and functions. All of your body is balancing on your feet, and if your feet aren’t functioning properly everything above them has to compensate. Problems such as low back pain, iliotibial band syndrome, patellar tendonitis, shin splints, plantar fasciitis and many other problems can all be the direct result of improper foot function. Often the best solution to this problem is through the use of orthotics custom-made for your foot.

Our Chiropractors have been certified by The Orthotic Group to examine you for the suitability of their orthotic footwear. Their products have provided excellent results for everyday use as well as for high performance athletes.

If you have any questions about custom orthotics  feel free to contact you’re favourite Vancouver Chiropractors.

After a recent night flight back from Hawaii, I was the only one that got off the plane at 5am not holding onto their sore neck.  Those wrap around pillows are worth their weight in gold.  I slept soundly without my neck flopping forward and straining it.  Think about protecting your neck on your next trip.    Questions or comments, please call us at Broadway Burrard Chiropractic.
