Unlike over-the-counter orthotics that are one-size fits all, prescription orthotics are specially crafted for you and your needs.

Podiatrists use orthotics to treat a variety of foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendonitis, diabetic foot ulcers, and foot, ankle and even heel pain. Podiatrist-prescribed foot orthotics decrease foot pain and improve function.

From the results of this analysis, orthotics are prescribed to improve gait and balance and will also improve your foot movement, leading to more comfort and mobility.
