WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WEARING ORTHOTICS

CUSTOM ORTHOTICS ARE USUALLY PRESCRIBED WHEN A PATIENT PRESENTS WITH SOME TYPE OF FOOT, HEEL OR ANKLE PAIN. THERE IS USUALLY  A STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCY PRESENT, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IT IS OVERPRONATION.  A CASTING IS TAKEN WITH THE FOOT PUT IN THE NORMAL NEUTRAL POSITION.  ORTHOTICS CAN IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE, REDUCE PAIN AND IMPROVE THE FUNCTION OF YOUR JOINTS.  THEY HELP REDUCE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FOOT AND ALL JOINTS ABOVE THE FOOT AND REDUCE DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN THE JOINTS.

ORTHOTICS CAN IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE BY INCREASING THE LINE OF DRIVE AND TRANSFERENCE OF POWER FROM YOU FOOT TO YOUR SHOE, SKATE OR SKI BOOT.  THE VAST MAJORITY OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES WEAR CUSTOM ORTHOTICS BECAUSE THEY IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE AND DECREASE THE RISK OF INJURY.
