Senior Foot Health
Senior foot pain and discomfort can be helped.
Instead of accepting the premise that discomfort is a natural part of aging, there is an answer other than needlessly enduring pain that deprives you of an active lifestyle. Problems with your feet can seriously hamper your ability to function independently.
Forward Arch® Corrective Orthotics can help with the following:
– Pressure on the ball of your foot for upper back and shoulder pain
relief
– Takes you off your heels for lower back and plantar fasciitis relief
– Frees up your toes for neck and headache relief
– Puts you directly over your arches (muscle structure). Medial and later
arches help support ankle, sciatica, knee and hip pain.
Forward Arch® Corrective Orthotics retrains your foot to be in neutral alignment so your arch is at a perfect angle – helping correct the primary cause of knee and hip replacements.
What does this mean to you if you have:
Arthritis – Muscle and joint pain and inflammation ease as your feet return to a neutral position and your posture is gently corrected. This realignment supports your entire body—bringing your knees and hips back into balance and reducing pressure on areas that tend to ache. As that pressure lessens, many customers experience relief from back pain, as well as discomfort in the knees, hips, and shoulders. With Forward Arch® Corrective Orthotics, stress on your joints is reduced through proper alignment, helping take the strain off sensitive areas. By supporting healthy joint motion, these orthotics can also help relieve pain associated with arthritis.
Reduce the risk of Falls – Your balance is improved because you are being supported by the orthotics. Your arches are encouraged to work by the natural motion of the “Forward Arch® Corrective Orthotics” flexing your arches. After a short break-in period, this motion is happening without you even being aware of it. This flexing of your arches is increasing your circulation by 18% to 30%, depending on your activity level (based on doppler studies done in the 1980s by doctors at Walter Reid). You may even feel taller, though you are not. Your posture is now where it should be. “Forward Arch® Corrective Orthotics” help give you that balance and assurance of being able to move about with more confidence.
Knee, hip and back pain are caused by misaligned foot structure. There is no reason for any senior to be in pain like this. Forward Arch® Corrective Orthotics help free up the toes so they are free to move, improving balance, decreasing the risk of falls and taking pressure off the back, hips and knees. Our Corrective Orthotics help reduce inflammation and stress in areas like the toes, ball of foot and heels.
Safe for Diabetics too – made of high grade medical polymer that’s not absorbent so they’re safe for diabetics to wear. With improved circulation, diabetics may be able to prevent the amputation of their toes.
