What are orthotics used for?
Orthotics can be used to treat heel pain, arch pain, bunions, calluses, metatarsalgia, neuroma, claw toes, arthritic and diabetic conditions, knee pain, lower back strains, flat feet, pes planus, pes cavus, leg length discrepancies etc. They are also used to enhance comfort and performance in sports footwear. NOTE: Foot orthotics are not to be confused with or compared to arch supports. Arch supports simply provide extra support in footwear, whereas your functional foot orthotics are custom made to the exact contours of your foot impression. Orthotics are used to help control the foot function and foot position in patients who have abnormal foot function due to poor biomechanics or post surgically.
