What do my feet have to do with it?
Orthotics are customized functional insoles that correct and prevent painful foot, knee, hip and back & postural disorders
Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them.
The finished orthotic is placed in the patient's shoe to support the foot and eliminate abnormal foot biomechanics by keeping the foot properly aligned. Depending on the patient's needs, the orthotic may have padding to cushion the foot and make it more comfortable.
When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics.
Orthotics have been shown to help the following conditions:
• • • • • • • • •
Plantar Faciitis Metatarsalgia Morton's Neuroma Hallux Valgus ( Buions) Shin Splints Patella Femoral Pain (Runner's Knee) Chronic Low Back Pain A Variety Of Conditions Related To Diabetes Rheumatoid Arthritis.
These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.
