Why Orthotics are important!

Orthotics are orthopedic devices that are used to alter or modify foot function and are designed to treat, adjust, and support various biomechanical foot disorders.  Some orthotics are simple, commercially-made devices, such as cushioned heel cups or insoles for shoes that are sold over the counter in drug stores or other retail establishments.

The most effective orthotics, however, are custom-made devices that are crafted to meet the specific needs of a particular individual.  Custom orthotics are created using an impression of the foot called a cast, which duplicates any misalignments in the foot structure.  Using the cast and computer technology, technicians in an orthotic laboratory design a device that balances out deformities and corrects misalignments. 

Common ailments related to poor foot biomechanics include:
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendonitis
  • Shine Splints
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Morton's Neuroma
  • Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome 
  • Runners Knee
  • Sacroiliac Syndrome ​
