The Everyday Health Benefits of Custom Orthotics

• Both adequate footwear & proper arch support are pivotal to walking through life pain-free. And while supportive shoes are indeed an essential element for your feet, they come stock with insoles that frequently fall short of the adequate support needed for healthy biomechanics.

• This also applies to off-the-shelf insoles like "Dr. Scholl's", which claim to be "custom" or "custom fit" but are not, as they are not custom-made to fit your unique biomechanical needs. Moreover, some patients have reported that such devices prolonged or even worsened their foot pain over time. Needless to say, this is counterproductive to caring for your feet & legs!

• For these reasons and many more, people, including children, athletes and those experiencing foot pain or whose jobs/lifestyles involve standing for prolonged periods of time, often need to look for additional & actual lab-designed support like the custom orthotics provided by our Certified Pedorthists at Valley Proactive Orthotics®.
