Custom Orthotics

Most problems in the foot and ankle are a result of Bio Mechanical problems in the foot. Instability in the foot can cause symptoms of heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, nerve, most foot and ankle pain and even low back pain. An Orthotic will treat what caused the problem to occur by reestablishing the arch and correct the alignment of the foot, ankle and low back. This is similar to if you have problems with the foundation of your house, it will result in jam doors or roof problems. If you fix the door or roof problem without fixing the foundation, the problem will just return. If you have a minor problem you can try over the counter arch supports, but if the problem is more severe, Custom Orthotic Supports should be made. This is similar that if you have a minor vision problem, you can buy your glasses at the Drug store, but if you need the correct prescription, you would go to an Optometrist to get glasses with the correct prescription. A Podiatrist will evaluate you for alignment problems and determine if Custom Orthotic are required to correct your foot problems.
