Questions and answers to help find out if custom orthotics are right for you...

Will orthotics make my tired feet feel better?
Absolutely. That's because they support your arch and disperse your weight over the entire surface of your foot.
Will orthotics correct my fallen arches?
No, but they will position the structures in the foot to optimize the biomechanical function reducing the chance of injury and enhancing performance.
Can orthotics help my lower back pain?
Yes, certain kinds of lower back pain improve by balancing foot motion right to left and adding additional shock absorption.

How long will my custom orthotics last?

Will orthotics prevent injuries?
