Orthotics

Orthotics is a field of health care that involves the design and fabrication of specialized devices to support, align, protect and correct individuals’ lower limb and spinal structure. It is important for creating a better posture and improving movement during daily activities, as well as reducing pain, swelling, and stress on the body’s joints, muscles, and ligaments. Orthotics has been used to treat a wide range of conditions, including flat feet, bunions, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee, hip, and back pain. It can also help improve the balance, stability and coordination of an individual’s gait, allowing them to move more efficiently and with less fatigue. Orthotics can lead to overall improved longevity, quality of life and physical performance.
