Orthotics can be an effective way to improve walking patterns and overall alignment, helping reduce knee, foot, and lower back pain. They support proper foot and ankle positioning, which helps take pressure off the back, hips, shoulders, and neck. Custom foot orthotics also cushion the feet, support the arches, and distribute body weight evenly to ease discomfort and prevent strain.
Custom orthotics are specially made inserts that fit into most shoes and match the exact shape and movement of your feet. They help correct imbalances, relieve walking-related discomfort, and can be worn daily during most activities.
Unlike over-the-counter inserts, prescription orthotics offer personalized support designed specifically for your needs and typically last well over a year. Your chiropractor can evaluate your gait and determine whether custom orthotics are a good addition to your treatment plan.
