Custom orthotics are custom fit and individually prescribed shoe insoles to help reduce foot, knee, hip, and low back pain. They work by improving your foot function in order to take stress off of sensitized tissues. They are prescribed on a case-by-case basis, and only provide effective relief for certain foot types. They can be used as part of treatment for an existing issue, or for correction of a known foot function problem preventatively (for. ex flat feet or excessively high arches). Custom orthotics can be used as a standalone treatment or provided in addition to arch strengthening for best long-term results.
