Exercise and Rehabilitation Therapy and Prescriptions
We will assess your area of injury or complaint and prescribe specific exercises that can be done at home or at our office to speed healing, increase flexibility, improve strength, and prevent re-injury.
Exercise, Diet, and Nutrition Consultations
Through an interview process, we will analyze your lifestyle as it pertains to nutrition, diet, and physical fitness.
We will then make specific recommendations and set you up with a personal program to address your areas of concern (i.e. weight loss or healthy eating.)
Orthotic Therapy
Prescription orthotics are medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance.
Orthotics work on the feet the same way that braces work on the teeth, by exerting gentle consistent pressure to bring foot muscles and bones back into proper alignment.
Orthotics or 'Orthoses' are inserts that comfortably fit into shoes; they are designed to support and improve the functioning of feet.
Why do I need orthotics?
Sore feet are often the result of lack of proper care, ill-fitting shoes, and general foot neglect. Your feet are the foundation to your body, and as a result how your feet feel has a direct impact on the rest of your body. Even a small abnormality in foot function can have a tremendous impact on your other joints, causing pain and discomfort. It is estimated that the average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. Over a lifetime, a person will walk more than 4 times the circumference of the globe. Imagine walking this distance in poor shoes or with sore feet. Remember, if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your feet, ankles, knees, hips, or back it may be the result of poor fitting shoes. At Fountain of Health Chiropractic and Massage, you have the choice of either in-stock orthotics by Superfeet or Custom Orthotics which are molded from a personal plaster cast.
