Custom made foot orthotics help your feet maintain their structural and functional balance as you stand, walk or run. Your feet are the foundation of your body, and they serve you in three important ways: whenever you stand, walk or run; they assist you in moving from one place to another and they help protect your spine, bones and soft tissues from damaging shock stress as you move. Therefore, feet perform their duties best when all the bones, muscles, arches etc. in them are in their ideal stable positions. Any weakness or unstable positioning in the feet often contributes to postural problems in the rest of the body, which may lead to spinal misalignment. Orthotics help to keep the feet in a stable position throughout the body.

Shin splints
