Although often prescribed to address common ailments and deformities of the foot, custom foot orthotics can also be an essential tool in the rehabilitation of knee, hip, and low back pain. During most functional and recreational activities, our feet are the interface between us and the ground, court, track or pedal. A misaligned foot does not allow proper alignment of the lower extremities, pelvis, or lumbar spine. This is often the cause of poor neuromuscular efficiency and eventually mechanical pain and breakdown of our joints.
Foot orthotics can help improve performance in sports such as running, cycling, and golf. They can also help decrease pain in the back, knees, hips, and feet.
