Orthotics
Custom Orthotics for Pain Relief and Postural Balance
Orthotics are custom or pre-made shoe inserts designed to support and align the feet and lower body. Chiropractors prescribe them after evaluating posture and gait to correct imbalances that can contribute to pain in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back. By improving foot alignment, orthotics help relieve joint stress, enhance stability, and promote efficient movement patterns.
They are commonly recommended for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and overpronation, as well as for addressing repetitive strain from occupational stresses, including long hours of standing, walking, or physically demanding work. By reducing excessive strain and improving biomechanical efficiency, orthotics play a key role in supporting overall musculoskeletal health and maintaining structural balance.
