Foundation of Your Body
Your feet are the foundation of your body. They support you
when you stand, walk, or run. And they help protect your
spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you
move around. Your feet perform better when all their
muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.

The foot is constructed with three arches which, when
properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength.
These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes
the weight of the entire body.

If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other
arches must compensate and are subject to additional
stresses, which usually leads to further compromise.

It’s a chain reaction

Healthcare professionals know alleviating pain in one part of
your body often requires treating a different part. The pain
you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in
your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your
feet. See? It’s a chain reaction.

By stabilizing and balancing your feet,
orthotics enhance
your body’s performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and
contribute to your total body wellness. Our orthotics
complement the doctor’s treatment when you stand, walk,
and live your active life.

Not all orthotics are alike.  In fact, most "drug-store" orthotics
are essentially shock absorbers, and nothing more.  A proper
orthotic is
customized to idealize your gait and foot position.

Dr. Halliday is certified to fit custom orthotics by a leader in
orthotic technology, Foot Levelers.  Once it is determined
that orthotics are right for you, he'll assess and measure
your feet, mold them in their natural state and, through the
technology at the manufacturer's laboratory, your custom
orthotics will be designed
especially for you.

Most orthotics are covered by insurance plans, provided they
are deemed medically necessary by Dr. Halliday.  If not, their
charge is nominal relative to the cost of orthotics from a
podiatrist, though their quality is equivalent.

Orthopedic Support Devices include Lumber Spine
Belts
(for the low back), Cervical Collars (for the neck),
and
Orthopedic Pillows.  All of our products are of the
utmost quality, having undergone extensive research, and
are available for purchase in our office should you need
them.
