Custom-fit orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to walking and alignment. Some of these include but are not limited to knee, foot and lower back pain. The need for orthotics is often related to an issue with the natural functioning of the foot. Orthotics will often help to realign the bones within the foot and ankle and therefore take pressure of other parts of the body such as the back, neck, shoulders and hips. In addition, orthotics will help with distributing your weight properly and take further pressure off of toes, bunions and other parts of the foot.

Orthotics are really for anyone with an issue or discomfort relating to walking or imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain. The great benefit of orthotics is that they can be worn on a daily basis and be utilized during most activities to take further stress of the body. 

Our office recommends and provides Footlevelers brand of stabilizing orthotics. In Dr. Sharp's experience they make the most sense as they are not rigid, allowing the arches of the foot to work but not overwork which is the primary cause of plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. If you want to know how much he believes in them, ask him to slip off one of his shoes and see for yourself, he has been wearing them for 15 years. This is a great investment into your overall health and well being via a biomechanical standpoint.
