Orthotics

Orthotics is a specialty that deals with external devices to help modify, adjust, or support an area of your neuromuscular and skeletal system. Things like cervical support pillows, shoe inserts and similar can help a patient recover faster. Orthotics can help you heal quicker and their benefits can outlast the recovery. Many times, orthotics will address some problems before they even happen. The use of orthotics can lessen pain, and even correct and help you avoid long term injuries and related pain.

Proper balance is extremely important, from the feet up. If a person has a deficit in the way they walk, or stand, it can greatly affect their ankles, knees, feet, hips, low back, shoulders and neck. One of the things that Dr. Maggio does, at the Proadjuster Chiropractic Clinic of Virginia Beach, is to check your posture. Dr. Maggio is looking to see if any enhanced stabilization, orthotics products can help the patient recover faster. Orthotics products can also help patients maintain their adjustments longer.

The longer you maintain your adjustments, the less care you need in the office. For example, if a person walks with their toes flared out forty-five degrees laterally, instead of pointing straight ahead where they are going, it will curve the knees and hips outward. Causing the knees and hips to flare outward flattens the lumbar spine. When the lumbar spine is flattened, it causes the muscles in the low back to work extra hard to support the body. Inevitably, that system will fail causing a lack of strength in the spinal core. In turn, that will lead to rounded shoulders and forward head tilt. At this point of imbalance, the body is prone to chronic headaches.

The foot bones connected to the leg bone, the leg bones connected to the knee bone. Remember that song? Well, although a fun song to teach children about their bodies, there is a lot of benefits to remembering, as an adult, that everything is, in fact, connected, and an imbalance affects the entire system. A flaw in your skeletal structure and support will, eventually, lead to all sorts of other issues. Having improper support from your feet can, eventually, work its way up your legs, torso and neck. As many know, chiropractic issues in the neck can cause severe headaches, pain in your spine, and even other body ailments. Dr. Maggio recommends orthotics devices designed to help balance any deficits, allowing your posture to improve. Paying attention to, and correcting these imbalances, will help your chiropractic adjustments be more effective, and hold longer.
