What are Orthotics?

« Back to Foot Problems

Orthotics are custom supports designed to fit the unique shape of each person's foot. Proper orthotics are anatomically molded and the modern pedorthist uses gait analysis and computer foot modeling in order to create the perfect fit.

Many kinds of foot problems, such as flat feet or plantar fasciitis, along with knee and back pain can be helped with a good pair of orthotics. Athletes from runners to skaters to soccer players improve sports performance as well as comfort with custom insoles based on precise analysis.

Custom orthotics realign the feet to a natural, balanced position that supports in the right places and removes stress from back and legs as well, increasing endurance, improving posture and relieving pain.
