360 Foot Care

Today, most Americans live extremely active lifestyles. We find ourselves on our feet for long hours. We engage in a wide variety of activities including shopping, sports, work and other activities. For many of us, we usually pay very little if any attention to our feet except for fashion purposes. Unless we are having or have experienced feet problems, we allow fashion to dictate the types of shoes that we wear. The problem with fashion as a shopping guide is that very few shoes today are built to provide the type of support or shock absorption that help prevent or alleviate feet problems or feet related problems like knee, hip, back and ankle problems.

There are many feet conditions or feet related conditions that can be prevented or alleviated by wearing appropriate shoes or having appropriate arch support that can be placed in shoes. Providing appropriate arch support or shock absorption can help people experiencing conditions like heel pain, plantar fasciitis, tired and sore feet, heel spurs and other bio-mechanical issues. Obtaining a specific diagnosis from a medical professional can help with selecting the correct products that will prevent or address health concerns.

Appropriate arch support will allow that body’s joints like knees, hips and ankles, to be in better alignment. Having the body in good alignment can help it and your joints to perform as they were intended. Good body alignment can also help to more evenly distribute weight over your feet. Having better weight distribution can help with conditions like heel spurs or pain in the forefoot often attributed to thinning foot padding. Wearing good shock absorbing shoes like Spira can help absorb stress and shock off of the body’s joints. Clearly a good rigid, not rubber, arch support and Spira shock absorbing shoes are a great combination to prevent or alleviate many health conditions related to your feet.
