What are Orthotics?

Orthotics are custom-designed medical devices that are worn inside shoes to correct foot and lower limb alignment, relieve pain, provide support, and enhance the overall function of the foot. These devices come in various forms, including inlays, splints, or shoe inserts, and are tailored to address specific issues such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, bunions, or high arches. Orthotics work by redistributing pressure, providing cushioning, and aligning the foot into a more anatomically correct position. By doing so, they help improve mobility, prevent further injury, and enhance athletic performance.
