Orthotic Therapy
What are Orthotics?
Orthoses are cushioned inserts that are put into your shoes to correct your foot alignment and poor biomechanics.
Orthotics are more broadly classified into two types:
Custom Orthotics: Custom orthotics are custom made to your foot's shape and your podiatrist's specifications.
Over-the-counter Orthotics: These orthotics are fitted to shoes.
Orthoses come in a variety of materials, styles and designs tailored to your specific needs.
What are Orthotics used for?
Orthotics are usually used to treat a variety of lower limb issues and to ultimately correct your biomechanics and reduce pain.
Orthotics can be used to treat many different types of conditions, including:
Heel pain
Flat feet
Painful arthritis
Shin splints
High arched feet
Achilles tendinitis
Sever’s disease
