Orthotics can be very useful
in relieving postural pain in the back, hips, knees, legs
and feet. Prescription Functional Foot Orthoses are designed
to alter the mechanical forces that are applied to the foot
and other structures including the knees, hips and back.
In altering these forces the podiatrist is able to reduce
stress on these structures aiding recovery from injury and
preventing further injury.
In order to produce your Functional
Foot Orthotic we take an impression of your feet using plaster-of-paris,
this impression is then sent to our laboratory with your
individual prescription that will allow much more fluid
motion in your body this in turn will reduce stresses in
those areas that are causing pain.
