What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are accessories inserted into shoes to create the perfect fit. Most people's feet are not perfectly aligned with one another. Orthotics correct the biomechanics of the foot, for optimal landing and propulsion, better posture and better balance. Insoles are also shock absorbers and reduce pain throughout the body.
Why Use Orthotics?
Most people have some sort of structural or functional imperfections in their feet, which do not always result in daily pain. Over the years, neglecting foot problems can lead to chronic pain, particularly in people who are physically active.
Structural or functional foot problems directly affect other parts of the body, including the knees, pelvis, hips, and spine, and can cause ailments such as heel spurs, stress fractures, muscle pain, inflamed tendonitis, repetitive sprains, and back pain.
