Whether you are on your feet for 5 minutes at a time or 5 hours at a time, by the end of the day, you are likely ready to rest your feet and back. Wearing shoes that are uncomfortable or are not supportive can cause discomfort in your back, knees, feet, and other areas. The use of custom-fit, flexible orthotics can not only increase your comfort and decrease your pain, but also can potentially help you perform better in your favorite sport.

So, what can the use of orthotics do for you? Wearing custom orthotics can improve your standing posture, causing a decrease in neck and back pain. If you notice joint pain in your knees, hips, or ankles following going for a walk or playing your favorite sport, orthotics may be able to help. Also, by wearing orthotics that are designed to support your arch correctly, your posture will improve and help reduce strain on your joints. Orthotics can also be used to alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis and other conditions.
