Question 1

What are Orthotics and what can it do for you?

Accepted Answer

Orthotics are prescription medical devices that you wear inside your shoes to correct biomechanical foot issues such as problems with how you walk, stand, or run. They can also help with foot pain caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and arthritis.   Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.  A Physical Therapy One professional can assess your feet, your posture and prescribe the proper foot orthotic or brace to help correct your specific foot and/or body imbalance. ​ Orthotics help re-balance your feet, reducing pain and discomfort by enhancing and correcting your body’s posture and natural movement.
