Arch Support in Carrollton, TX
Your arches are designed to act as shock absorbers for your entire body. When arches fall, a condition commonly called flat feet, the shock from walking and running is transferred to your ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, pulling your body out of alignment and causing pain. At Premier Health Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we analyze your feet and create custom orthotics with the right arch support so your body can function the way it is supposed to.
How Fallen Arches Cause Pain
The arches of your feet distribute your body weight and absorb impact with every step. When the arches collapse or flatten, the feet roll inward and other parts of the body, such as the knees and back, are forced to absorb that shock instead. Over time, this imbalance can lead to:
- Foot and ankle pain, including heel pain and plantar fasciitis
- Knee pain from altered alignment
- Hip and pelvic imbalance
- Lower back pain
- Leg pain and fatigue
- Poor posture and uneven wear on shoes
Signs You May Need Arch Support
You may benefit from arch support if your feet ache after standing or walking, your shoes wear unevenly, your ankles roll inward, or you experience recurring knee, hip, or back pain without an obvious cause. People who stand for long periods at work, runners, and those who have had ankle sprains are especially prone to foot imbalances.

Arch Support FAQs
Can flat feet cause back and knee pain?
Yes. When arches collapse, the feet cannot absorb shock properly, which can alter alignment of the knees, hips, and pelvis and contribute to knee and lower back pain.
What is the difference between custom orthotics and store-bought insoles?
Custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet based on an examination, while store-bought insoles are generic. Custom orthotics provide more precise support for your unique arch structure.
How do I know if I need arch support?
Signs include foot pain after standing or walking, uneven shoe wear, ankles that roll inward, and recurring knee, hip, or back pain.
How long does it take to get used to custom orthotics?
Most people adjust within one to two weeks. We recommend gradually increasing wear time during the first several days.
Can children wear custom orthotics?
Yes. Children with flat feet or foot-related pain can benefit from properly fitted orthotics that support healthy development.
Can I wear orthotics in all of my shoes?
Orthotics fit best in shoes with removable insoles, such as athletic and casual shoes. We can recommend options for your work and lifestyle.
Do you offer Foot Levelers orthotics?
Yes. We offer Foot Levelers custom orthotics as part of our arch support services.
