What exactly is an Orthotic?
A foot orthotic is a device designed to realign the structures of the feet 3 dimensionally.
Why do we need Orthotics?
Our feet were originally designed for walking on natural surfaces like soil and sand. Instead we give our feet adaily pounding by walking and standing on hard, flat unnatural surfaces.
Over time this causes our feet to flatten and twist to make ground contact. Just like the tyres on a car, poor alignment of the feet can have far reaching effects throughout the body and can lead to heel pain, leg pain, knee and back pain.
Why are orthotics helpful for back pain?
Lower back pain can very often be directly attributed to excess pronation of the feet. As the feet roll in (pronate) the hips tip forward and increase pressure in the lower back region.
How Orthotics Work:

Wearing in orthotics
It may take a few days for your feet to become accustomed to the orthotics. If any discomfort occurs, then we suggest you remove them for one or two hours, then replace them and continue to remove and replace them until comfortable.
How long will Orthaheel last?
Activity levels and individual's weight are two of the key variables that determine Orthaheel's longevity. As a rule of thumb, they should last 9 - 12 months before replacement. This is usually determined by a return of symptoms, as the control of the of the orthotic is reduced by compression.
