Orthotic inserts
Orthotic inserts are devices used to treat a wide variety of functional problems. They can relieve bone pain and joint and muscle aches and provide support for people suffering from joint and muscle fatigue.
Orthotics (from the Greek word “orthos,” meaning straight) are worn inside the shoe to realign the foot and ankle. They can be used to treat a variety of problems, including ankle pain.
There are many different types of orthotic inserts, including:
- Insoles: They are small devices inserted into shoes to realign the ankle biomechanics and relieve pain. They cover all the foot surfaces and are designed to correct a specific structural problem that triggers ankle pain.
- Heel Cups: These devices are similar to insoles but are only fixed to the heel area of the foot. They are designed to fit inside shoes and provide comfort and support for the ankle area.
