Who Should Wear Orthotics?
Since our foot structure is inherited, the tendency to develop foot problems is predisposed. The way we walk, the shoes we wear, the stress applied to our feet such as during running, and the amount of time we are on our feet, contribute to the development of foot problems. Just as the dentist may prescribe braces to correct abnormal alignment of teeth, orthotics are used to correct abnormal movement of the foot. Orthotics are one of the only ways to prevent adult foot problems from developing. If there is a family history of foot problems, you may be at risk and your feet should be checked.
