Electronic Foot Scans
The feet are the foundation of the body, so it is important to include a digital scan into your evaluation so we can assess your postural health. Foot problems can adversely affect your whole body.
The Ventura Spinal Care Center is proud to offer advanced digital technology that enables the Doctor to screen for foot imbalances that lead to postural problems throughout the entire body. The digital foot scan captures an exact impression of your feet while standing, with your full weight on your feet.
We have the ability to produce colorized images of your feet in order to detect excessive pronation or supination, extremely low or high arches, and other foot abnormalities that may lead to dysfunctions in the gait cycle.
If the colorized images indicate a need, custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers can be made for you. The Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers are shoe inserts that support all three arches in your feet, thereby creating a stable foundation upon which to build proper body posture. You might not be experiencing any foot pain, but the imbalances in your feet can contribute to postural misalignments and pain in areas throughout your body and fatigue.
Dr. Alff would determine what type of stabilizers are appropriate for you. Then the order is sent digitally to the laboratory where the stabilizers are created, specifically for you.
Designed to support all three arches of the foot, Stabilizers help align the feet, ankles, knees, and hips to provide a balanced foundation for the body. Stabilizers also help chiropractic adjustments hold longer, helping prolong your wellness.
Upon receiving the stabilizers from the laboratory, Dr. Alff will show you how to wear and care for them.
