What do Prescription Orthotics really do? Can they help reduce knee pain?

Custom Foot Orthotics are known to solve a number of biomechanical related problems, not only for obvious foot problems but also for ankle and knee pain, pelvis, hip, spinal pain and even headaches. This is achieved by preventing misalignment of the foot which can significantly alter the way in which the bones move within their joints.

The core issue of many conditions and symptoms is loss of joint mobility, increase of plantar pressure due to inability to transfer weight from ball of foot to toes, and poor biomechanics. The foot orthoses are a necessity for correcting the faulty structures and biomechanics of foot, spine, and skeletal structure. These custom foot orthotics provide biomechanical assistance to prevent callus formation, reduce pathological plantar pressure by actively assisting the foot to normal heel-toe gait, and restoring the proper function to the affected joints and soft tissues.
