Information

The feet that respond well to the Miracle Arch Pad™ are flatfeet. Using pre-fabs, this is the reverse process of realigning the actual ankle, which is what custom products do. Instead, it simply lifts the midfoot bones and as an end result, pushes the ankle back to neutral. NAS Orthotics strongly recommendeds the Miracle Arch Pad for flatfooted people until the softer version is available. These shoe soles will help with neck, back, and shoulder pain. Contact us to purchase today or for more about feet.

Flat Feet: Flat feet people spend too much time in the arch phase (more than the 25-70%) and excessively strain every system connected up to the back—flatfeet spend as much as 90% in the arch phase. The idea behind foot orthotics is to lift the ankle back to neutral, and pull the midfoot section up. This corrects the poor timing. To do this, you need to use fast materials like hard foot orthotics, which propel the foot forward more quickly.

At NAS Orthotics, we know that pre-fabs or "full contact inserts" are devices that are not custom made, but designed to shift bones in the arch. High arches do not need to be lifted any more than they already are and so they do not do well with pre-fabs that contain lots of arch fill. Call today and we'll fit you in the right shoe sole.

High Arches: High arch people spend too little time in the arch phase (less than 70%) and usually have a long heel strike phase, as well as jump right to the balls of the feet. The idea behind foot orthotics in this case is to slow the cycle down in the midfoot and pull the ankles back into alignment. It also creates a slow section in the arch where nothing exists. To do this, you need to use slow materials, such as soft spongy or gel orthotics, which keep the arch in contact with the ground longer.

Diabetes: Two Main Problems for Feet:  Ulcers & Neuropathy: Ulcers develop from friction with sock or shoe contact. They continue to grow worse due to the general lack of sensation to notice the problem, as well as a poor immune and circulatory response to heal such problems. Therefore, orthotics must be light in color to reveal any drainage and extremely soft without friction.
