Arch Drop = Poor Spine Posture
Low back pain can be a result of an acute injury, but many times back problems develop over a long period of time. Factors such as age, occupation, poor posture and overall fitness all play a role. The body needs a sound support structure with core strength to carry weight and perform normal activities. When this support structure is weakened, the body must work harder to keep the feet, knees, hips and low back functioning properly. Over time, this can lead to back problems.
Is my back pain related to my feet?
In many cases, yes. Your feet are the foundation for every step you take. They play a key role in absorbing the shock that you place on your body every day. Problems with the function of your feet can have repercussions that are felt all the way up, including your knees, hips and back.
Sole SupportsTM custom made orthotics are uniquely designed to directly and completely support and restore the arch of your foot. This not only helps correct low back posture, but restores proper function for prolonged, pain-free foot health that benefits conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, metatarsalgia, morton's neuroma, shin splints, knee pain, and IT band syndrome. It may be the difference between long-term success and failure in the management of your low back pain and other muscle and joint conditions.
How a flat foot creates poor low back posture from two different points of view. From the side, the knees move backwards, the pelvis drops forward and the back becomes more curved. From the front, the knee turns in, the entire leg shortens and the pelvis drops on that side. All of these postural changes create additional strain for the low back.
