Cornerstone Chiropractic Custom Orthotics
Our Everett chiropractor, Dr. Lichfield, prescribes specialized footwear to help patients overcome a wide range of musculoskeletal issues above and beyond simple foot pain. When you consider the enormous burden that the feet must cope with on a daily basis, and their role in helping the entire body maintain an upright balance, then you can see why our services must include treatment of any issues in these complex structures. Here at Cornerstone Chiropractic, we use Foot Levelers’ advanced digital technology to create custom orthotics for patients who need them.
It goes without saying that abnormalities in foot angle or support can cause serious pain, such as the chronic inflammation of plantar fasciitis. But it also affects the entire alignment of the body through what we call the “kinetic chain.” If the feet cannot support your vertical balance, you may develop spinal alignment problems that lead to:
– Shoulder drop
– Pelvic tilt
– Knee rotation
– Pinched nerves
– Chronic muscle strain
– Heightened vulnerability to injury
– Premature wear and tear of weight-bearing joints (knees, hips, ankles)

Ordinary store-bought orthotic insoles and other appliances may add extra cushioning to shoes, but they can’t provide the precise modeling required to compensate for individual cases of abnormal pronation, flat feet and other issues. That’s why our Everett chiropractor relies on Foot Levelers custom orthotics. Our in-house Foot Levelers equipment digitally scans your feet. Once Dr. Lichfield has made these digital impressions, they are sent out to a lab for fabrication. The final result is a pair of custom-fit orthotics that provide the exact amount of support your feet need across all three arches. This balances your entire kinetic chain so you can maintain a properly symmetrical vertical posture, relieving everything from nerve impingement and muscle strain to excessive joint wear.

Good Health Starts with the Feet!
For over 70 years, Foot Levelers has been making custom orthotics that are clinically proven to help reduce pain and improve whole body wellness by balancing the body from the ground up. Your feet are your foundation. And structural imbalances in your feet can lead to issues throughout the body like plastic deformation, overpronation, plantar fasciitis, low back pain, knee pain, hip pain, sciatica, or achilles tendinitis.
Your feet don’t even have to be hurting to cause some of these issues. Foot Levelers custom orthotics, Shoethotics® and Sandalthotics® can help by properly supporting and positioning the feet.
A foot scan or impression shows how imbalances in the feet lead to problems throughout your body. The orthotics are then made off your foot scan or impression.
Only Foot Levelers custom orthotics support all 3 arches of the foot. Your arches give the foot strength to support the body in a balanced fashion. Balancing your foundation can help relieve pain and avoid future issues. Ask us about getting scanned or download Foot Levelers Patient Catalog for more information.
The Foot/Spine Connection
All parts of your body are linked together. And your feet are the foundation!
Even though all your body parts are connected and affect one another, your feet are what Foot Levelers calls, the “foundation”. Your entire body is supported and balanced by your feet. Therefore, if your feet are pronated (as 99% of all people’s feet are), your body will suffer – starting with either the knee, hip, or back.
When something goes wrong with one of our parts and we experience pain, traditional medical doctors attempt to treat patients using prescriptions or surgery. This, in our opinion, is a very narrow view of solutions and care.
We are mindful of the whole body – specifically the musculoskeletal system. As we meet with our patients, we observe data through 3D scans and x-rays – pinpointing the root cause of the problem in order to apply appropriate treatment that typically begins with Foot Levelers Custom Orthotics. Why? Because our feet are the “foundation” of the body and Foot Levelers has an excellent reputation for making the best custom orthotics on the planet.
Since 99% of all people have foot pronation (often causing imbalances and stresses in the knees, which in turn puts stress on the hip, back, and even our neck), custom orthotics are a vital solution to whole body health. This is the bio kinetic chain in action. When our feet are stabilized and in balance, the rest of the kinetic chain will function as it should – pain free! But when our feet are pronated and de-stabilized, the rest of the kinetic chain will be negatively impacted – typically resulting in pain and loss of function.
Multiple Activities? Multiple Orthotics.
If you have more than one pair of shoes and take part in multiple activities, you should seriously consider getting a pair of orthotics for each activity. There are orthotics for sports, work, and leisure. There are even orthotics custom made for children.
