WHAT DO ORTHOTICS DO?  

A common question often asked is "what do orthotics do"? Orthotics are prescription medical devices that you wear inside your shoes to correct biomechanical foot issues such flat feet, foot pain, heel pain, bunions & plantar fasciitis, to name a few. Symptoms often arise due to faulty pressure points with how you walk, stand, or run. Custom orthotics can also help with foot pain caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and arthritis. Custom orthotics provide better foot alignemnt, stability, balance & shock-absorption. Who doesn't need better Shock-Absorption!
