Where to Get Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are unique inserts specifically tailored to cushion and support your feet. They can reduce the ache and distress caused by various foot issues, including plantar fasciitis, overpronation, and flat feet. Custom insoles must be crafted to precisely fit your feet to achieve optimal comfort and support. Keep reading to find out where you can obtain custom orthotics.

Who prescribes custom orthotics?

If you’re trying to figure out where to source custom insoles, begin by consulting an expert who can guarantee your orthotics will have a precise fit and deliver optimal support tailored to your feet’s shape. Healthcare professionals, such as doctors of chiropractic and physical therapists, can prescribe custom orthotics. They may also be prescribed by chiropractors and other healthcare specialists with expertise in treating issues affecting the feet, ankles, legs and other parts of the body. read more

The Redesigned 5^th Avenue Collection is Here!

3:14 pm / Dr. Kevin Wong

As chiropractors who analyze and treat the feet on a daily basis, we get exposed to tons of people so it is very easy to observe the types and styles of shoes they are wearing.

We know that patients feel their best and get better results from their chiropractic care when their bodies are properly supported through custom stabilization. However, many popular women’s shoe styles don’t comfortably accommodate custom orthotics due to their tight-fitting, low-profile designs. For the purposes of this discussion, I want to hit on a topic that can be a sore spot, especially for female patients. This has to do with wearing “high heels”. read more

8:27 am / Foot Levelers

WOMEN AND FOOT PROBLEMS

A woman’s foot is structurally different from a man’s, and their knee alignments and gait styles are not the same. Research shows that these structural differences cause women to be more likely to develop foot problems such as bunions, hammer toes, callus formation, interdigital neuromas, and metatarsalgia.¹ As women age, these issues tend to be more severe. read more

Orthotic Insoles Guide

3:00 pm / Foot Levelers

Orthotic insoles offer essential support and pain relief for individuals suffering from foot and ankle conditions. But with so many types of insoles available, choosing the best ones for you can be tricky. Read on to learn more about what the right custom orthotics can do for you.

What Are Orthotic Insoles and What Do They Do?

Foot orthotics are also sometimes called “arch supports” or simply “orthotics.” They can be made of different materials and vary in quality. However, their purpose remains the same: orthotic insoles are designed to support your feet and ankles so that you can stay active without experiencing pain and discomfort. Orthotics guide your foot in maintaining natural and healthy motion and can prevent over-pronation or over-supination. read more

5 Reasons to Choose Custom Orthotics for the Treatment of Low Back Pain

12:42 pm /

1. The feet are the body’s foundation. Just like a building, fixing problems in the foundation can help with problems throughout the structure.

Farmer Donita Koberg Platz with Foot Levelers

“…I have to load 5,000 pigs every 4 months. This entails many hours of walking on cement alleyways. I couldn’t help load without my Foot Levelers!” –Farmer Donita Koberg Platz of Minnesota

2. “Bad” feet are linked to bad backs—the research proves it. Fixing bad feet can make a huge difference in the treatment of low back pain.

3. Your feet may feel just fine—but they could be causing problems up above. Foot imbalance or dysfunction is often “silent,” but it can have ripple effects, transferring problems (and pain) to the low back. read more

“My Foot Levelers took me hiking through an old volcano on the island of Hawaii!” said Danielle Evans of Michigan, January’s winner. “I never travel without them. Two foot surgeries and metal in my feet have made me so thankful for the support they offer my three arches (or lack there of), the lightweight design, and soft foam inserts. I had tried ones from my foot doctor who did my surgeries and the hard inserts made my feet hurt worse! Foot Levelers orthotics are a life changer!”

Foot Levelers at the NFL Scouting Combine this Weekend!

5:38 pm /

Check out this coverage on Foot Levelers’ participation in this weekend’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. We’re on-site to present to the Professional Football Chiropractic Society (PFCS), also known as the 32 Chiropractors who officially serve the 32 teams of the NFL.

About the NFL Scouting Combine: Each year in February, over 300 of the very best college football players are invited to Indianapolis to be considered for eligibility in the upcoming NFL Draft. They’re joined by NFL execs, coaching and training staff, healthcare personnel and more to be evaluated for the opportunity of a lifetime.

We’ll be talking to the PFCS and others about the clinically proven benefits of Foot Levelers custom-made functional orthotics on the field: how they can help treat and prevent sports injuries while improving biomechanics and proprioception.

XP3 vs. XP3+ Sport Orthotics: What Kind of Champion are You?

12:21 pm /

Looking for a custom-made orthotic to support you through your toughest, most grueling workouts and competitions? Consider Foot Levelers’ XP3® and XP3+™–guaranteed to provide results on the road, the field, the gym… Wherever you want to beat your best time or crush the competition.

For shorter term intensity: The original XP3 is whisper thin, feather light, yet a powerhouse of support. Revolutionary MPAX™ material throughout absorbs up to 90% of shock, shielding your feet and lower extremities from pain and strain. It slips comfortably into cleats and most low profile athletic shoes.

For the long-haul: XP3+ doubles up on MPAX, making it ideal for the endurance athlete. XP3+also features brand new MPAX Pro™ in the forefoot–it amps up propulsion at toe-off for the competitive edge.

MPAX is the most cutting-edge protective material on the market, and only Foot Levelers has it. Lightweight, thin and breathable, MPAX instantly “freezes” at the moment of impact to shield the feet and body from the harmful effects of shock.

MPAX helps you go harder, longer. read more
