What Do Custom Foot Orthotics Really Do?

Foot Orthotics are known to solve a number of biomechanical related problems, not only for obvious foot problems but also for ankle and knee pain, pelvis, hip, spinal pain and even headaches. This is achieved by preventing misalignment of the foot which can significantly alter the way in which the bones move within their joints. The core issue of many conditions and symptoms is loss of joint mobility, increase of plantar pressure due to inability to transfer weight from ball of foot to toes, and poor biomechanics. The foot orthoses are a necessity for correcting the faulty structures and biomechanics of foot, spine, and skeletal structure. These orthoses provide biomechanical assistance to prevent callus formation, reduce pathological plantar pressure by actively assisting the foot to normal heel-toe gait, and restoring the proper function to the affected joints and soft tissues. Increased knowledge of Biomechanics and Orthotic correction of 'unseen' problems has led to more specific prescriptive treatment with casting and bespoke individual insoles.
