Introduction to Orthotics

Watch this and you'll become very smart about foot problems and how to fix them. Explains how orthotics work and why everyone should be wearing them. Orthotics are essential for treatment of any problem involving the feet or knees and sometimes the low back. Orthotics give us back the surface that Nature intended us to be walking on.

Not all orthotics work. Many so-called "custom" orthotics are almost worthless. Orthoheel® orthotics have been my favorite for years.

     
 

Back and Hip Pain

Flat feet also cause low back pain. How? Watch the movie and see how pronation causes increased pelvic tilt and increases pressure on the disc, the #1 cause of low back pain.

     
 

Knee Pain

Knee pain is very common here in Malaysia. It often starts as a muscle problem but as the years go by the knee joint gets worn out leaving many elderly to need knee replacements. Orthotics can prevent most knee pain and prevent the need for surgery.

As I said above: Not all orthotics work. Many so-called "custom" orthotics are almost worthless. Orthoheel® orthotics have been my favorite for years.

     
 

Achy Legs

The muscles in the back of the knee become painful, as do the ones in the front, when the foot is pronted when you walk. Orthotics removes the pronation, takes the stress off the leg muscles and gets rid of the ache.

     
 

Heel Pain

Walking on hard surfaces can damage the ligament connected to the heel causing heel pain. Learn all about it and how orthotics are a big part of the treatment plan.

     
 

Flat Foot Pain

Flat feet cause pain in many different areas. Orthotics can help enable you to live pain free.
