Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom orthotics?
Custom orthotics are prescription devices designed specifically for your foot structure and movement patterns to provide support, improve alignment, and reduce pain.
How do orthotics help with foot pain?
Orthotics for foot pain help redistribute pressure, support arches, and improve foot mechanics, reducing strain on muscles and joints.
Do I need special shoes with orthotics?
Not always. A footwear guidance podiatrist can recommend suitable shoes that work well with orthotics while fitting your lifestyle and activity level.
