Individually Designed Functional Orthotics

If you are considering individually designed Functional Orthotics, Dr. Frank Marghella at Ideal Health and Wellness Center can perform a foot scan to show you how imbalances in the feet can lead to problems in the knees, hips, back, and shoulders. The foot scan will show how Functional Orthotics may help. Following a foot scan, a report will provide you a Pronation/Stability Index, a Foot Assessment, and a Body Assessment.

Your Computerized Assessment Score

The index reveals the severity of pronation/stability in your feet, ranging from Optimal to Severe. An index of 102, for example, is Moderate pronation/instability. Untreated imbalances of any level may lead to chronic problems throughout your body.

Illustration

Your Feet

The red areas on the V7+ scan show where your feet are applying pressure. Loss of arch height – which shows more red in the middle of the foot, such as the image shown – can cause flattening and rolling of the feet.

The scan also shows the percentage of imbalance for each foot. The higher number indicates greater instability on that side of the body.

Your Body

The body assessment image shows how imbalances in the feet can lead to knee rotation, pelvic tilt and shoulder drop. These imbalances in the body can be caused by pronation and supination of the foot. These instabilities can lead to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and neck pain. A properly aligned body will have symmetrical feet, level knees, pelvis, and shoulders. Wearing Functional Orthotics may help alleviate imbalances and conditions caused by those imbalances.

Benefits of Custom Orthotic Sandals

Traditional flip-flops and sandals are notoriously bad for your feet. At a glance, you can see that regular sandals provide pretty much no arch support. Flip-flops are even worse. If you have plantar fasciitis, posture issues, knee, hip, back, or shoulder problems, wearing a typical pair of flip-flops or sandals is almost as bad as going barefoot.
But the fact remains that sandals and flip-flops are an inextricable part of warm weather fun! Who wants to spend the summer at the beach in a pair of Oxfords, or relax by the pool while wearing pumps? Grilling in the backyard just isn’t the same if you have to do it while wearing wingtips.
Fortunately, Foot Levelers offers custom orthotic sandals and flip-flops that are supportive, yet also stylish, cool, and comfortable. Just like the other footwear Foot Levelers provides, these sandals and flip-flops are custom-made to fit every curve and crevice of your unique feet. They are ideal flip-flops for plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and other podiatric issues.
Here is a closer look at some of the benefits Foot Levelers Custom Orthotic Sandals can offer you:

Different Occasions / Different Orthotics

You wouldn’t be caught wearing your flip-flops at work or your expensive dress shoes on the beach, would you? That’s why we strongly encourage multiple pair of orthotics. If you end up getting a pair of custom flip-flops, you should also add a pair of custom orthotics for your work shoes, athletic shoes, or even get a second custom flip-flop style!
Foot Levelers also has a great selection of high-quality, comfortable, shoes for all occasions!

Experience both comfort and support all summer long.

You’ll love slipping into a pair of Foot Levelers Custom Orthotic Flip-Flops and won’t want to take them off.
All of Foot Levelers hand-made flip-flops come with our patented 3 Arch Advantage which support all 3 arches of your foot. They also include a high-quality mid-layer that provides shock absorption on heel-strike and is softer and more comfortable than over-the-counter flip-flops. Additionally, Foot Levelers custom-fits the strap so each flip-flop feels like it’s made exclusively for your feet – because they are!
