The arch of a foot is an important part of both human and animal anatomy. While humans have an arch, animals have paws that come in contact with the ground. Arch support is a beneficial tool for both individuals and animals to aid in line formation and support in accordance to their anatomy.

When the suspensory ligaments in the foot are balanced, the ligaments in the arch of the foot contract and relax as walking occurs. These contractions and relaxation motions of the ligaments make walking, balance, and running possible at the highest level of functionality.
By wearing arch support, one can provide support exactly where the arches in their feet are vulnerable. Arch supports are also useful tools when recovering from plantar fasciitis which can be a severe heel ailment. The use of arch support will result in an alignment between the hips, knees, and ankles.
After an extended period of time using arch support when walking, many people experience the growth of a more pronounced arch in their foot.
Arch support is crucial for maintaining the natural alignment of the foot and preventing discomfort. This is especially the case with flat feet, high arches, and other structural deformities.
At Doveston Health, we specialize in helping you discover the best approach when it comes to using custom orthotics for arch support.
After our specialist takes a good overall look at your feet, a thorough examination is conducted to identify your specific needs and if misalignments and imbalances are causing discomfort. Orthotics or insoles are then customized to your feet.
Your new or custom-built insoles customize the amount of support your feet will need to be given even pressure by the entirety of your feet.
Re-alignment of the foot with our supports can reduce or even eliminate many types of lower extremity pain. We offer arch supports for the feet, knees, hips, and lower back.
Did you know that 99% of people will have a problem with their foot alignment in their lifetime? Podiatrists believe that if they can catch these problems early on in a child’s life, they may not need foot support later. Just like an adult, if a child’s feet are not aligned, that causes all types of pain throughout the lower extremity.
Most doctors will tell you if you are active, you may need arch support due to the amount of use you use daily on your body. This holds true with many athletes or weekend warriors! Many of the patients that we see have been to many different doctors before they came to see us. They were told by either a doctor, physical therapist, or friends that they may need arch support to correct their condition. Some may have had surgery to fix a problem that could have been fixed with an arch support!
Our arch supports will provide relief and stabilize your foot for better alignment and function all day! Our goal at Doveston Health is to make sure that your foot is healthy and we want to make sure that you receive the best possible care that we can give you, while getting you back to your regular work as soon as possible as quickly as possible.
