Custom foot orthotics are specially designed to align the foot and ankle in the most efficient position. They are custom-made medical devices, similar in appearance to insoles, that are tailored to correct specific foot imbalances. By bringing the feet back into proper alignment, custom orthotics work to reduce stress and strain on the body, much like glasses improve vision. They are made from a plastic material that helps to redirect and reduce certain motions during the gait cycle, and can be comfortably placed in shoes.
Custom orthotics can help alleviate symptoms associated with poor foot mechanics, such as:
- Localized foot pain
- Bunions and hammer toes
- Arch or heel pain
- Leg or knee pain
- Hip or back pain
