CUSTOM ORTHOTICS

With each step you take, your custom-made orthotics will control your feet and keep them in a neutral position in order to minimize the stress that is transmitted through the joints of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis and spine. Ask your therapist if orthotics may be a solution for you.

What are Custom Orthotics?

Custom Orthotics are devices that are made specifically for your feet in order to optimize the alignment of your foot and ankle. Custom Orthotics help to improve efficiency and minimize shock absorption through the lower extremity, pelvis and spine.

Who Needs Custom Orthotics?

Perhaps your low back condition is causing you to limp and place excessive load through your right lower limb and this is irritating your plantar fascia (the bottom aspect of your foot).

If this is the case, it is important to direct treatment to your low back and wait and see whether orthotics are really necessary.
