Dr. Matthew Moore is pleased to announce the addition of the Foot Levelers Associate™ Platinum to hispractice.

Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. Like any structure, your body's foundation must be balanced to support the weight above it. Below is an idea of how your body looks when it is not properly balanced:
Next, you will see a properly balanced skeleton:
If the arches in one or both of your feet collapse, your body doesn't get the correct postural support, causing an imbalance in your skeletal frame. The Associate™ Platinum helps chiropractors develop care plans and use postural support, like custom-made orthotics from Foot Levelers, to obtain positive results in nearly everyone - from children to seniors.
Different types of Orthodics
Dr. Matthew Moore welcomes new patients to Westside Family Chiropractic for postural exams to determine their chiropractic needs. The clinic offers a variety of therapies for total body health and provides on-site screenings with the Associate™ Platinum at health fairs and other community events. If you've never had your feet scanned, you probably don't know what they are supposed to look like. Don't wait for aches and pains to tell you there is a problem.
