Arches

Concrete arches support a load, or break under it; but arches of the foot flatten until the load is lightened, then spring back and, at the same time, propel the body forward in walking, leaping and running.

When the foot arches weaken from faulty development, constant overloading, or prolonged inactivity, bunions and calluses can follow. These correctors help treat the cause of foot problems, rather than the effect. Foot problems such as CORNS, CALLUSES, BUNIONS, GOUT, HEEL SPURS, HAMMER TOES, HIGH ARCHES, LOW ARCHES, FOOT SWELLING, SHIN SPLINTS, MORTON'S NEUROMA, PLANTAR WARTS, LEG CRAMPS AND BURNING FEET are mostly caused from wearing improper foot wear and/or working or walking on hard surfaces for long periods of time, allowing the foot to lose its posture or balance. Pain can result -- in the foot, leg, knees, back, hips, neck, head, etc.

Nerves & Veins

Nerves can be pinched, leading to numbness. An unbalanced foot can cause spinal distortion. Veins can be squeezed, helping promote varicose veins, and interfering with the work of all structures which rely on the circulation.

Bones & Muscles

The bones in the arch of your feet are held in shape and operated by ligaments and muscles, which if not used for any length of time, become so slack that the arch flattens, is hindered in supporting your weight, and hampered in the job of moving your body forward. Often given sufficient time and exercises, your arch will be restored.
