What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are shoe or heel inserts that are custom-made at the discretion of a podiatrist. In many cases, orthotics are used in conjunction with other treatment methods to aid in the recovery process. However, there are also instances when orthotics can be used on their own to improve your condition. Our podiatrists will lay out which option is best for you and move forward with creating them.
