Foot Deformities Develop as Tarsal Joint falls w/ Each Step

Most common foot deformities, bunions, hammertoes, don’t appear overnight. They gradually form as the Tarsal joint (that forms the arch) falls w/ each step causing the entire foot bones out of alignment. This distorts  bone position, stressing soft tissue, and slowly deforming the foot shape.

Each time you take a step on a misaligned foot:

  • The arch drops making the foot flatter & bigger

  • The anklebone shifts

  • The entire foot structure destabilizes

  • Deformities begin & worsen w/ each step

This is why foot shapes change over time — and why so many people experience worsening symptoms as they age or stay on their feet for years.

To prevent & improve foot deformities, we must stop the Tarsal joint from collapsing. This is where properly designed custom Feet Balance Orthotics come in.

Feet balance Orthotics are built to:

  • Realign the Tarsal joint to keep the arch from falling

  • Realign the anklebone so your foot passes the Anklebone Alignment Test

  • Stabilize the entire foot structure and promote healthy bone position

Once the tarsal joint is aligned:

  • The foot stops deforming

  • Existing deformities stop progressing

  • Over time, the foot begins to remodel itself into better alignment

Alignment First. Comfort Follows.

When you support the foot where it’s meant to be supported — from the Tarsal joint up — you address the true root cause of deformity & discomfort. That’s our approach at Feet Balance Orthotics & Pedorthics.
