Everything you need to know about Orthotics

A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance which will help reduce stress and strain on your body. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during walking.

Worn comfortably in most kinds of shoes, prescription orthotics are used to treat lower back pain, forefoot pain, leg fatigue, arch pain, heel pain, callouses, hip pain, corns, and much more. Orthotics are designed to precisely control the mechanics of your feet and correct your foot function. You might say orthotics are to feet what braces are to your teeth.
