Are you a candidate for orthotics ?
The structure of your foot supports your entire weight. Misalignment of muscles and bones can cause a variety of problems. Symptoms of faulty foot mechanics may begin with localized foot pain, bunions, hammer toes, arch or heel pain, leg or knee pain, hip or low back pain. If you suffer from these symptoms, you may benefit from the use of prescription orthotics.

What are prescription orthotics?
Prescription orthotics are medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics work on the feet by exerting gentle consistent pressure to bring foot muscles and bones back into proper alignment. They fit comfortably in shoes, and are usually made of flexible, molded thermoplastic.

How do orthotics help?
Properly fitted prescription orthotics can restore the normal balance and alignment of your body, and bring relief from fatigue and pain. Your feet will rest comfortably on the orthotics in your shoes and be consistently forced into the correct functioning-position for walking, running and standing. Orthotics are so comfortable, and help your feet work so naturally, that you will want to wear them as much as possible.
