PRESCRIPTION ORTHOTICS AND ARCH SUPPORTS

Orthotics are orthopaedic devices designed to treat or adjust various biomechanical foot disorders. The best orthotics are custom-made devices. These are made by taking an impression of the foot called a cast. The impressions in the cast duplicate any misalignments in the foot. Specialists in an orthotic laboratory can then correct the misalignments with compensation and stabilisation techniques. The finished orthotic is then placed in the patient's shoe and helps to keep the foot and leg correctly aligned.
