What are orthotics?
In layman’s terms, you may think of them simply as arch supports or shoe inserts. However, they are actually much, much more than that. Orthotics are orthopedic devices made to: treat or adjust abnormal foot motion; provide support, stability and control; increase balance; absorb shock; and relieve pressure on uncomfortable or sore spots. They may be pre-molded (over-the-counter) devices for conditions that are not severe, or custom made to address an individual’s specific needs. It is important to remember that your feet are the foundation of your body. How your feet perform can affect how your skeletal body feels and functions. The stability and efficiency of the foot and ankle promote better foot health and overall body function.n
