At SO Podiatry we prescribe orthotics as part of the treatment plan to help your biomechanical issue. The device sits in your shoes or footwear to alter or force an action of the muscles that make you walk. They work by redistributing pressure and changing the way the body adapts to movement. They are useful to improve muscle engagement and help muscles work better for you. Orthotics are designed to relieve your lower limb issues such as foot or heel pain.
