What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are custom-made or specialized shoe inserts designed to support, realign, and improve the function of the feet and ankles. They reduce pain, redistribute pressure to prevent injury, and manage conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and diabetes-related foot issues.
Key Functions and Benefits
- Provide Support and Cushioning: Offer structural support to the arch and padding to reduce strain on muscles, tendons, and joints.
- Reduce Pain: Relieve chronic foot, ankle, knee, and lower back pain by correcting the gait.
Unlike generic over-the-counter insoles, prescription orthotics are tailored to the individual's specific foot structure and pathology after a professional evaluation.
