Orthotics
An orthotic is a type of devices used to support, immobilize, or treat joints, muscles or skeletal body parts, especially in the foot. Braces, splints and insoles are commonly used to correct the function of deformed, ineffective, injured or weak body parts.
Orthotics and The McCaffrey Method of Care
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, nearly eight in 10 Americans have experienced foot problems as a result of wearing uncomfortable or ill-fitting shoes. In chiropractic care, orthotics are designed to correct foot posture and irregular walking. By restoring a natural foot movement, musculoskeletal issues can be corrected. Our custom orthotics can realign feet and foot function. Orthotics enable even weight distribution in your foot, taking stress off toes, soles, and balls of feet. Orthotics paired with our chiropractic treatments are designed to relieve pain and prevent further issues.
