To stay active, you need to stay healthy. You need healthy feet to do so. As we come out of winter hibernation and become more and more active, take a look at your shoes and sneakers. If there is uneven wear of the heel, it might be time for an alignment.

Biomechanics is the study of motion, movement and the forces acting on the musculoskeletal system. Correct alignment allows for normal use, less pain and less trauma and subsequently injury. If your shoes are being worn down unevenly that is a sign of malalignment and failing biomechanics (pathomechanics). Healthy feet will ensure optimal physical activity.

Foot orthosis (orthotics) treat a range of pathology related to biomechanical dysfunction of the lower limb. Orthotics can re-align the foot ensuring that your function optimally, avoid injury, pain and complications.

Its not to early to think about “Beach ready feet”. Usually thick nails are a sign of fungus. Fungus of nails (onychomychosis) and tinea pedis (Athlete’s foot) can be treated easily, get beach ready

Happy Spring

Make your own luck this St. Patrick’s Day. Get healthy feet.
