Custom Foot Orthotics in Georgetown

Foot orthotics help to ensure the correct positioning of the bones in the feet, ankles, and knees. The muscles and ligaments leading up to the hips and holding the leg bones in place are prevented from stretching over time, which can lead to further injury and aggravation.

Foot orthotics can also reduce muscular fatigue and may help to promote more efficient muscle performance.

Patients who benefit from orthotics include:

• Foot pain sufferers
• Knee and back pain sufferers
• People with diabetes
• People with arthritis
• Runners and other athletes
• People who stand or walk on hard surfaces for their work
• People who simply want maximum comfort for their feet, legs and back
