An orthotic is a device designed to restore your natural foot function. Many biomechanical
(walking) complaints such as heel pain, knee pain, and lower back pain are
caused by poor foot function. Orthotics re-align the foot and ankle bones to their
neutral position, thereby restoring natural foot function.

A podiatric physician can prescribe orthotics—foot supports worn inside shoes—that are crafted for you and no one else; they match the contour of your feet precisely and are designed for the way you move. Only prescription orthotics can accommodate your unique foot structure.

There are two types of orthotics, Custom and Non-Custom.

▪	Custom orthotics are designed to control abnormal motion and may be used to treat foot pain caused by abnormal motion. They can also be used to treat injuries such as shin splints or tendinitis. These are usually crafted from a semi-rigid material such as plastic or graphite.

▪	Non-Custom orthotics are softer and meant to provide additional cushioning, support and other uncomfortable conditions.

If you have pain or discomfort, schedule an appointment. We will assess your overall health and look at any other contributing factors. We can examine your feet and ankles, prescribe custom-made orthotics or suggest additional treatments to improve the comfort and function of your feet.
