Custom Orthotics vs. Barefoot??

This is a frequent question that many people wonder. The answer is… it depends on the condition, the person, and the intended activity! Sometimes, it’s both. (more on this in a future blog post)

Barefoot can help with strengthening the many muscles in the foot. This is great if you don’t have any underlying alignment issues or pain in the foot. Custom orthotics can position your foot to teach your muscles how it should work properly to enhance the biomechanics. This creates the optimal environment for your foot to function and help with the issues relating to the feet. Additionally, your chiropractor at Omni Health and Wellness may prescribe specific exercises to enhance the biomechanics of your feet.
