Orthotics (also known as custom foot orthotics) are prescribed medical device used to correct and/or accommodate person's problematic feet. Custom orthotics easily fit into your shoes to hold the foot in a proper position, allowing the joints, muscles and ligaments of the feet and legs to function within their normal limits. By encouraging the feet and legs to move more efficiently, orthotics eliminate foot, leg and lower back pain. They also effectively redistribute pressure along the bottom of the foot, offloading areas of high pressure, which is an essential element in diabetic foot and wound care.
