The three arches of the foot

The foot's three arches

The foot has three distinct arches that form the plantar vault, each one with a unique role in healthy balance and stability. The arches perform in tandem, so if the function of one is compromised, the integrity of the others is impacted.

Arch dysfunction's effect on the body

Over time, arch tissue can drop or flatten out (plastic deformation). As this process is typically painless, the patient won't associate the condition with other issues like back, hip, knee and neck pain, fatigue and diminished sports performance. Untreated, foot dysfunction affects the entire body and can increase the risk of injury. This can undermine the success of your adjustments and chiropractic care.

What you can do – make foot stabilization part of every patient's care

Arch collapse is permanent and not reversible through exercise. However, you can painlessly and non-invasively restore proper foot alignment with custom flexible orthotics. It's important that orthotics support all three arches of the foot (off-the-shelf orthotics typically have generic support for only one). As foot structure is as unique as a fingerprint, it's crucial that support is custom to each patient.
