What do my feet have to do with it?

Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up n your body, and lead to more serious problems.

The custom orthotics help rebalance your feet, reducing a pain and discomfort by enhancing your body’s natural movements.

What are prescription orthotics?

Orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes  Ethey reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole  Eand they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
