Custom Orthotics at Shore Chiropractic
While some might believe prescribing orthotics is something only podiatrists do, we think it’s a perfect fit with chiropractic. We assess the foot to determine what may be the cause of your problem and see if adjusting, stretching, custom orthotics, or all three may benefit you.
The feet are the foundation of the body. They provide the necessary stability to perform daily activities by supporting the weight of the entire body. When patients have a rolled-in ankle or a flattened arch more on one side than the other, it affects the alignment of the knee and the hip, and how they hold themselves from the ground up. Other conditions that might benefit from custom orthotics include plantar fasciitis, bunions, knee pain, hip pain, and even low back pain.
Custom orthotics actually help adjustments last longer as they balance your body and muscles from the ground up, but it’s also nice when it helps your feet feel better!

What to Expect
We use Foot Levelers™ custom orthotics in our practice. They’re one of the best products available, established in 1952. And their customer support is as excellent as their products.
Custom orthotics are foot inserts that provide support to the three arches in your foot. These 3 arches form an extremely strong, supportive “plantar vault” that distributes the weight of the entire body.
The plantar vault provides several benefits
- Balances the body
- Propels us forward
- Safely absorbs heel-strike shock
- Adapts to walking and running stresses
Once your orthotics are completed, you’ll return to the office, so we can ensure the fit is correct.
