Flat Feet or High Arches: Orthotics can correct misalignment caused by flat feet or high arches, relieving stress on your joints and muscles.
Plantar Fasciitis: Custom orthotics support your arch and heel, reducing tension on the plantar fascia and easing heel pain.
Bunions and Hammertoes: Orthotics can help redistribute pressure on your feet, preventing the progression of painful foot deformities.
Arthritis: People with arthritis can benefit from the cushioning and support orthotics provide, easing foot pain and improving mobility.
