Our chiropodist/podiatrist can prescribe orthotics to help correct your specific foot and body imbalance. You can help them by discussing any nagging foot, leg or back problems during a consultation.
The longer you wear custom orthotics the more benefit you will get out of them. Since orthotics work to realign the structure of your foot, you may feel pressure in some areas as it attempts to do its job. For this reason, custom orthotics should be worn in two hour intervals and slowly extend the wear time over a period of two weeks.
Orthotics will help position your foot so you will be using the right muscles at the right time, minimizing fatigue and allowing your muscles to be used more efficiently.
