Do your feet hurt? Do you spend a lot of time on your feet? Did you know that custom orthotics can help your feet and your body feel better? The truth is, your feet have a difficult job.

There are several types of custom orthotics your podiatrist may recommend, including:
Soft orthotics made entirely of various densities of materials; they can used to improve balance problems; absorb stress and shock to your feet and are an excellent choice for diabetic or arthritic feet.
