One of the very common questions that is asked:
DO CUSTOM ORTHOTICS REALLY WORK?
There is no simple answer to this question. It all depends on the condition that the patient presents with. Patients can notice that they have flat feet or they have a high arched foot, or they have knee pain or back pain, or they have difficulties participating in their favorite physical activity. I highly recommend not to try things from the internet or from pharmacies without an initial evaluation because this can cause potential harm. Our bodies are aligned and very intuitive. Even small factors like new shoes can cause potential shifts in alignment. Custom orthotics are not always necessary but they can aid in relief from foot and ankle pain, and in improving mobility and stability in certain circumstances.
