Foot Pain


Foot Orthotics -Encinitas and San Diego County

Foot orthotics or supports help foot, knee, ankle, hip, and low back pain. If you have this type of pain, you may need these Holistic Custom Orthotics. Your feet are the foundation of your body and if your feet are not in the correct position when you walk, your joints can become stressed. The usual problem with the feet is over-pronation (arches start to collapse). This happens more often with age, but can happen at any time in life. Over-pronation can cause problems over time because the joints become stressed and inflamed. 

Possible problems that can be helped by foot orthotics are:

Plantar fascitis, hammer toes, bunions, heel pain, heel spurs, neuromas, frequent ankle sprains, running injuries, foot burning and pain, pain in ball of foot, and pain in the big toe.

Holistic Custom Foot Orthotics are fit to order using a specific casting method and a specific custom-fitted orthotic that is flexible, but very supportive. They are extremely comfortable and usually people find that within a week or two their pain is decreased or eliminated.

These orthotics are different from the rigid orthotics that most doctors use with their patients. Rigid orthotics do not allow the joints to move freely through their normal range of motion.

Dr. Barkins will make a casting of your feet and fit the Holistic Custom Orthotics so that they will help your feet, ankles, knees, and hips pain. There is a 6 month guarantee for correction (orthotics guaranteed to fit correctly).
