Custom Orthotics
As arch support designed and manufactured to specifically fit an individual’s feet, the goal of custom orthotics most often is to improve a person’s mobility and stability and eliminate pain. These inserts for your shoes are carefully designed based upon a mold of your feet, as well as an analysis of your gait and lower body biomechanics.
