Orthotics allow the muscles, tendons, and bones of the feet and lower legs to function at their highest potential. When appropriately casted and fabricated orthotics can help reduce pain in the foot, knee, hip or back; further, decreasing the energy used by the body to mask the individuals discomfort or pain. They have proved to increase stability of an unstable joint, prevent further problems by reducing referred pain and improving a person’s quality of life.
