Step into Spring: Walk Your Way to Wellness with Custom Foot Orthotics By Dr. Danielle Gilas & Dr. Anita Rajan – Vivid Health Chiropractors

Updated: Apr 18

Spring is here, and it’s time to dust off your walking shoes and get moving! Whether you’re out for a peaceful stroll in the park or taking on a new hiking trail, walking is one of the best ways to soak up the season’s sunshine. But if your feet, knees, or back are giving you trouble along the way, it might be a sign that your body needs a little extra TLC.


At Vivid Health, we believe that every step should feel good. That’s why Dr. Danielle and Dr. Anita are here to help you walk comfortably and confidently, with the support of custom orthotics and chiropractic care. Let’s get you feeling your best from the ground up!


Orthotics come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit into different footwear.  We make sure your custom foot orthotics both support your feet and body best as well as fit into your shoes.

The Power of Walking: More Than Just a Good Stroll

Walking isn’t just about getting from point A to point B — it’s a simple, yet powerful way to boost your health and happiness. Studies show that regular walking can:


  • Strengthen your heart

  • Lift your mood and reduce stress

  • Keep your muscles and bones strong

  • Improve mental clarity and focus

  • Support long-term wellness and longevity


Incorporating walking into your routine, even just 30 minutes a day, can have a big impact on your overall health (Harvard Health, 2022). But to make the most of your walk, it’s important that your body is properly aligned and ready for the journey. That’s where we come in!


Custom Foot Orthotics: Because Your Feet Deserve the Best

Your feet are your foundation, and just like any solid building, they need the right support to keep everything else in balance. Custom foot orthotics are designed to do just that. Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet — taking into account your unique shape, movement patterns, and any imbalances that might be affecting your walk.


At Vivid Health, we use a detailed biomechanical assessment to evaluate your posture and gait. Think of it as a personalized map that helps us understand how your feet interact with the rest of your body. Once we have this information, we can create custom orthotics that help support and realign your feet — making walking feel easier and more comfortable.


Studies show that custom orthotics can help with conditions like plantar fasciitis, improve posture, and make those long walks much more enjoyable (Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020).


Chiropractic adjustments help to get joints "unstuck."  By releasing tension throughout the body, people report more mobility, flexibility, strength and feelings of well-being.

Chiropractic Care: Aligning Your Whole Body for Better Movement

Chiropractic care is all about bringing balance to your entire body. When your feet are properly aligned, it makes a world of difference to your knees, hips, back — even your shoulders. That’s why Dr. Danielle and Dr. Anita take a holistic approach to your care, ensuring that your body is in the best possible alignment for effortless movement.


Through chiropractic adjustments, we’ll work with your nervous system, nerves, joints and muscles to improve posture, flexibility, and joint health. It’s like giving your body a tune-up so that everything moves smoothly — and walking feels better than ever.


Many of our patients tell us, “I didn’t know walking could feel this good!” — and that’s exactly the kind of result we’re hoping for!
