In some instances custom-made foot orthotics are prescribed which are devices worn in your shoes that provide correction and assistance to your feet, helping them to perform in a more efficient manner.

Poor foot function may be the cause of pain you are experiencing in your feet, knees, hips or back as and prescription orthotics can help relieve your discomfort by realigning and providing structural integrity in your feet. This in turn can improve the alignment of the ankles, knees and pelvis as this repositioning translates throughout the kinetic chain.
