Pedorthics Did you know that pain in your back, hip, or knees may actually begin with your feet? Orthotics are ‘high-tech’ insoles used to correct problems in the foot and therefore correct the way you walk (your gait pattern). By making corrections in the foot and gait pattern, orthotics can be used to resolve problems from the feet on up.
Casting for Orthotics As seen in the photo; the Certified Pedorthist uses a plaster casting technique to get an impression of the foot. This technique allows the foot to be captured in its’ most stable position. This is also an accurate way to capture the relationships between the rearfoot and forefoot; resulting in a custom foot orthotic which provides excellent motion control.
