Biomechanical Orthotics

The primary goal of biomechanical orthotics is to correct or modify abnormal foot mechanics, which can contribute to a range of musculoskeletal problems. These issues may include conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, shin splints, and certain types of knee, hip, and lower back pain. Biomechanical orthotics work by altering the way the foot interacts with the ground during walking or running. They can provide arch support, improve foot alignment, control excessive pronation (inward rolling of the foot), and enhance shock absorption. By correcting these biomechanical imbalances, orthotics help reduce stress and strain on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, thereby alleviating pain and discomfort.

​

It's important to note that biomechanical orthotics should be prescribed and fitted by a qualified healthcare professional who has expertise in foot biomechanics. They will take into account an individual's specific needs, lifestyle, and activity levels to create orthotics that offer the most effective support and comfort.
