Controlling the excessive motion in the foot's movement and a reduction or elimination of pain can often be attained through orthotics. Just as glasses or contact lenses improve vision problems, orthotics can improve foot movement. Custom-made orthotics may relieve symptoms in your foot, ankle, knee, hip or back by controlling your foot's abnormal movement.

Even if your foot ailment is best treated by surgery, orthotics may delay, or prevent the need for further surgery and will help maintain the surgical correction achieved afterward.
