Foot Orthotics – Help, hindrance or crutch?

I am constantly surprised by how much controversy there is about the usefulness of foot orthotics. The analogy I use most often is that they are much like eyeglasses except you have to walk on them. In this respect, they work when you wear them and like glasses must be worn as much as possible to provide correction.

Two-Way Communication

I’m a firm believer in the old adage “communication is a two-way street.” When I started working as a Pedorthist in 1997, I learned very quickly the importance of clearly communicating to my patients when one of my patients, who came into my clinic with a prescription for custom-made orthotics, asked if orthotics were special shoes.
