Custom orthotics, as the name implies, are basically "shoe inserts" that are made individually for each patient and molded exactly to their foot.
Orthotics can improve many foot conditions that are made worse by poor foot position or alignment.
Custom molded orthotics offer pain relief for a variety of common foot problems including plantar fasciitis, ankle instability, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, arch support for low arches, high arches, back pain, knee pain, and arthritis, to name a few.
