What Is A Custom Orthotics?

They are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – because they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle.

Who Needs Custom Orthotics

The symptoms of poor foot mechanics can include any one of the following common symptoms amongst to patients.

• Localized foot pain
• Bunions, hammer toes
• Arch/heel pain
• Leg/knee pain

• Planter Fascitis
