An 'orthotic' is a device designed to restore your natural foot function. Many 'biomechanical' complaints such as heel pain, knee pain and low back pain are caused by poor foot function. Orthotics re-align the foot and ankle bones to their neutral position, thereby restoring natural foot function. In turn this helps alleviate problems in other parts of the body. In addition, Orthotics give a more even weight distribution, taking pressure of sore spots (e.g. the ball of the foot, corns in between toes, bunions etc) and they provide some shock absorption.
Most foot conditions respond favourably to orthotic treatment and Orthotics are found to be very effective at treating Bunions, Calluses & Corns, Heel Pain, Achilles Tendonitis, Morton's Neuroma and Ball of Foot Pain. Because the feet are the foundation of our body, Orthotics can also provide natural, lasting relief for Back Pain, Knee Pain and Shin Pain. |
