Our bodies work as an interdependent system, and when one part of that system doesn’t function properly (especially the foundation of our bodies, like the feet), it can negatively impact other parts leading to over or diminished use. Orthotics are designed to support and stabilize the foot and improve overall body function including postural issues, foot discomfort as well as back pain and joint pain. Conditions like low arches can stress muscles in the feet which may lead to several conditions, such as shin splints, knee pain, and plantar fasciitis. Orthotics can also help prevent a person's feet from rolling excessively inward or outward.
