What are orthotics?
Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts, not over-the-counter shoe inserts. There are a lot of people that don’t know the difference. Orthotics are made based on the unique anatomy of each person’s feet. Over-the-counter inserts are disposable or made to fit everyone. They are mass-produced and don’t take into account the unique anatomy of your feet. Orthotics are prescribed by healthcare professionals like North York Orthotics . They are made by professionals and are customized to fit each person’s feet. Over-the-counter inserts are not made to fit your feet and they don’t work as well. Orthotics are more effective than over-the-counter inserts.
How orthotics can benefit your health?
Orthotics are a good solution for a variety of Foot conditions. They help to correct and prevent pain, discomfort and pain. The orthotic can replace the function of the foot and its arch that is lacking. The orthotic can also help to control excessive pronation of the foot. If you are suffering from pain the orthotic can help to alleviate the pain and discomfort that you are experiencing. A custom orthotic may offer you more benefits than an over the counter orthotic.
The importance of properly fitted orthotics
Orthotics are customized, supportive devices that can help to alleviate foot pain and improve your overall health and well-being. But did you know that most over-the-counter orthotics are expensive and often not very effective?

That’s why we take the time to get to know you and your health and foot conditions. Once we understand your specific needs, your doctor will prepare a custom orthotic that addresses your specific issues, whether you need extra arch support, pain relief or just a comfortable pair of shoes. It’s time to experience the difference orthotics can make.
Why you should choose custom orthotics over pre-made orthotics
In the past, there was little distinction between custom orthotics and over-the-counter orthotics. Both of them were simply shoe inserts that were made to help with back pain and other foot problems. The only difference was that custom orthotics were made by a licensed professional and over-the-counter orthotics were not. But that has changed. Over-the-counter orthotics have made improvements and now offer some of the same benefits that custom orthotics do. However, you get a better user experience and a higher-quality product when you choose a custom orthotic.
Many people suffering from foot pain turn to store bought over-the-counter orthotics that they can find at their local pharmacy. This is a huge mistake, as over-the-counter orthotics are generally not made to fit your feet and encourage you to buy a new pair every couple of months. A proper prescription orthotic will actually make your feet stronger and more stable while helping you avoid foot pain. Check out our website to learn more about orthotics and how they can be used to combat foot pain.
Custom orthotics made just for you
Most people have heard of orthotics, but very few of them actually understand what they are, how they work, and why they might need one. Essentially, orthotics are special inserts that can be placed into your shoes to help to support your feet and ankles. They are ideal for anyone who suffers from pain in their feet or ankles, or who has a condition that may lead to that pain. If you have ever had to take time off work because of foot or ankle pain, or if you have ever had an ankle or foot injury, you may be a good candidate for an orthotic. Orthotics can help to provide support to a number of different parts of the foot or ankle. For example, they can help to support the foot and ankle if you have flat feet.
Conclusion: Orthotics aren’t just some gimmicky shoe inserts you find in the store. A good orthotics can be the difference between going to the gym and missing the gym.
