Custom orthotics

What is a custom orthotic?

An orthotic is a device that aligns the feet and ankles in the most anatomically effective and efficient position. These biomechanical appliances are custom made to correct an individual’s foot imbalance. The mechanical properties of orthotics position the bones of feet, ankles and knees in correct order. Orthotics keep the muscles and ligaments of hips that hold the leg bones in place and prevents them from stretching and causing damage over time.

Custom foot orthotics promote efficient muscle performance and reduce muscular fatigue. It is a blessing for sportsmen as they increase endurance, strength and performance during running. Overweight individuals also benefit a lot from orthotics as they reduce the stress from feet and ligaments caused by extra weight.

People who walk or stand on hard surfaces for a considerable amount of time, people involved in high impact sports, people with previous foot injuries or joint pains benefit immensely from custom orthotics. Let us discuss in detail who all can benefit from foot orthotics:
