Discover how custom orthotics from Total Health Systems can correct foot imbalances, alleviate pain, and improve posture for enhanced overall well-being.

The Hidden Impact of Foot Imbalance

Abnormal foot structure can cause problems throughout your entire body. Whether you have flat feet that lead to overpronation or high arches that create excess pressure on your heels and forefoot, these imbalances affect your posture, gait, and joint health over time. Your feet are the foundation of your body, and when that foundation is uneven, it can cause a ripple effect of discomfort and dysfunction.

At Total Health Systems, we offer custom orthotics designed to support your unique foot shape, improve alignment, and eliminate pain from the ground up.

Problems Caused by Foot Imbalance

  • Foot and heel pain (including plantar fasciitis)
  • Knee, hip, or lower back pain
  • Fatigue and instability while standing or walking
  • Increased risk of joint strain and injury

Over time, these issues can interfere with daily activity, exercise, and posture.

How Custom Orthotics Help

Custom orthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts molded specifically to your feet. Unlike store-bought insoles, they are precision-designed to provide optimal support and correction.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics

  • Correct flat feet or high arches for proper support
  • Redistribute weight evenly to reduce pressure and strain
  • Improve posture and body alignment
  • Absorb shock during walking or running
  • Prevent future joint and soft tissue problems

At Total Health Systems, our providers perform detailed gait and posture assessments to ensure your orthotics are tailored exactly to your needs.

Whole-Body Benefits

By supporting the natural structure of your feet, orthotics can also reduce pain in your knees, hips, and back while improving comfort, balance, and mobility throughout your body.

Whether your goal is to stay active, improve your posture, or eliminate chronic foot pain, our custom orthotics program provides the foundation for lasting relief.
