As a physician, I use orthotics frequently to treat a number of different ailments and injuries in the foot/ankle. The use of an orthotic should be based upon the type of problem you are treating. If you really want to know the answer to that question above the best way to find out is to see a professional.
Part of an examination by a foot and ankle specialist is the evaluation of the structure, position and function of each foot. Your foot is the foundation for all of your weight-bearing activities. If your feet are off it can affect several other parts of your body including your knees, hips and back! Come talk to us today about how orthotic may be good for you.
