Customized Orthotics
Prescription orthotics are made from a mold of your feet as well as a gait analysis and weight-bearing computer generated analysis of your feet. Approximately 80% of the population will need orthotics in their lifetime due to the fact that most people have feet that over-pronate (which means the arches have lost their function and are flattening out) which also causes ligament instability in the ankles. Orthotics are designed to correct for this common problem, but they are also very useful for many other problems including: plantar fasciitis, bunions, foot/toe/ankle pain, fatigue along the arches, shin splints, back and hip pain, numbness and tingling between the toes, etc.
If you would like to learn more about the benefits of customized orthotics and chiropractic care and how it may improve the quality of your life, please give us a call Shaw Chiropractic @ 250-287-7429.
In most cases your extended health benefits plan through your employer will cover 100% of the costs for orthotics, massage and Chiropractic healtcare.
Vitamins and Supplements
Health Effects of Supplementation...mounting evidence appears to indicate that some supplements can reduce the likelihood of osteoporosis, some eye disorders, heart disease and even some types of cancer. As medical research continues to examine and define the role nutrients and a balanced diet play in health, the importance of supplements will likely increase.
Supplements have a number of uses in a healthy living program. They can replace missing nutrients in our diets, provide extra nutrients in times of need (high stress, pregnancy, etc.), improve physical performance and increase muscle mass, enhance a weight loss program and contribute to a preventive health program.
Shaw Chiropractic can provide you discounted vitamins and supplements from a quality and superior source...ask us for details on the importance of selecting appropriate and naturally made vitamins and supplements that are best for you and your body.
