A quick myth I see online:
❌ “Store-bought insoles are the same as custom orthotics.”
Reality:
- Over-the-counter insoles cushion.
- Custom orthotics are designed to change how your foot functions and moves.
They can help with:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Knee pain
- Shin splints
- Flat feet / high arches
- Arthritis pain
- Morton’s neuroma
In the example of the casts here, I will actually have to wedge the inside of the forefoot to prevent it from rolling inward and causing excessive pronation.
If you would like to schedule a free appointment to see if you would benefit from custom orthotics, feel free to call the clinic at 613-354-3363, or book online at: https://www.foundationorthotics.net/
