Feet are the foundation of your support. Just like a skyscraper, your entire structure is dependant upon the integrity of your foundation. But unlike skyscrapers, your body often adapts to these abnormalities compensating for the problems in your feet by distorting other areas above.
For some this distortion affects local areas such as their feet, knees or hips. For others the affect is much broader impacting their TMJ, back, neck or even brain. But feet go beyond that…
IT’S BEEN SUGGESTED THAT 99% OF PEOPLE HAVE SOME FORM OF FOOT IMBALANCE
Feet play a major role in many neurological processes. Balance for instance is derived from a combination of vision, gravitational sense and the ability to feel the floor whilst feet also play an important role in the neural pattern generators that guide our walking and running ability.
Good healthy foot function is critical for good health.
The most common dysfunction we see in the feet is overpronation. Overpronation occurs when the feet roll too far in. This can be caused by muscle imbalances, ligamentous changes or even developmental problems. Common injuries we see in those who overpronate include:
Less commonly, some individuals can have the opposite issue known as supination. These people tend to not roll in enough often resulting in a reduced ability to absorb shock. This can lead to greater impact in higher joints.
Through our specifically developed assessment system, we’re often able to locate the feet as the primary cause of problems in many people with seemingly unrelated problems.
Using specific foot assessments such as arch drop height, foot flare, hallux freedom, Achilles shape, sensation and muscle function we can rapidly identify the potential cause of your foot problem. However, nothing replaces the ability to see what your feet look like from underneath whilst your standing.
“WELCOME TO DIGITAL FOOT SCANNING MELBOURNE”
There are many ways to assessing feet but gone are the days of plaster casting and molds that are messy and don’t provide an accurate representation of your feet when you’re standing.
Our digital foot scanning device is a state-of-the-art scanning system that allows us to measure the weight distribution patterns of your feet whilst you’re standing AND visually see the underside of your feet.
The system is fast, safe and provides you with an immediate written report of the health of your feet and the potential postural problems that might be associated.
Our aim is always to get you back to the way you were designed to be! To get that movement back to normal and allow your structure, brain and nervous to thrive.
If it’s just too late for you and too much damage has occurred, then sometimes we need to support you with the best that is available. That’s why we only use Foot Levelers custom, fully flexible orthotics.
“Your feet were designed with three arches, but those over-the-counter orthotics usually only support 1!”
Here’s a few reasons why we love and only use Foot Levelers orthotics:
Getting scanned is easy and takes just 5 minutes. But we always recommend you see one of our expert Chiropractors to ensure orthotics are the right option for you.

Migraines are more than just a “bad headache.” They are a neurological condition that can involve intense, throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, light or sound sensitivity, dizziness, or fatigue.
Unlike common tension headaches, migraines often reflect how the brain and nervous system are processing stress, movement and sensory input. In many cases, the brain is overstimulated, especially a pathway known as the trigeminovascular pathway. Check out my vid on how migraines occur here: https://youtu.be/R_kdOZFaZ48
With a thorough assessment of your neurology, physiology and hormone patterns, an underlying driver of migraines can be found.
Migraines rarely have a single cause. That’s why we take a whole-person approach rather than chasing symptoms alone.
Our Migraine assessment session may include:
Our goal is to understand why your nervous system may be under strain and find a solution to the dysfunction.
For many people, yes, but everyone is different. It’s rare for two people to have the same cause for their migraines. We aim to improve how the body and nervous system function together. When spinal joints, muscles, neural pathways and hormonal mechanisms are under stress, this can often place the brain on edge, just waiting for a trigger to set it off.
By restoring movement, reducing mechanical stress, supporting nervous system regulation and improving function, many patients experience:
Every person responds differently, but care is always tailored to your body and your needs.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) allows us to assess how different systems in the body — including the musculoskeletal, neurological, biochemical, and stress-response systems — are interacting.
Using gentle muscle testing, we can identify:
AK doesn’t replace our neurological, physiological, structural or hormonal testing; it adds to the context of them. This helps guide more precise, individualised care, rather than relying on guesswork or one-size-fits-all approaches.
This varies from person to person and depends on factors such as migraine history, frequency, nervous system resilience, stress levels, lifestyle factors and the root of imbalance.
Some people notice changes within a few visits, while others experience more gradual improvement over weeks to months. Our focus is on doing what we need to do to build long-term stability and resilience within your nervous system.
We’ll always discuss realistic expectations with you and track your progress.
