Custom orthotics are three-dimensional insoles made from an impression of your feet while in a neutral position. If you are suffering from foot, knee or back pain, custom orthotic should be one of the first foot solution considered. Your feet are the foundation for your body so it is not uncommon for pain in other parts of the body such as the knee, back or hip to originate in the foot.
Custom Orthotics are used to treat such conditions as; heel pain, ankle pain, knee pain, hip pain, low back pain, flat/high arch and many other such problems. Specific modifications and adjustments can be added to the orthotics to address presenting symptoms. Once placed in your shoe it will help to reduce pain and discomfort by correcting improper alignment, decreasing high pressure areas and cushioning the foot. It is important to understand that orthotics will not permanently change your anatomy and will function only when you are standing or walking on them. They also provide great support and comfort for those engaged in high impact activity or for those who do prolong standing and heavy lifting.
