Orthotics are devices that are placed into the shoe to cushion, support and/or control the foot as you walk or run. True prescription or functional orthotics are custom made and prescribed by a Podiatrist. Since each foot is different, a Podiatric physician must design the orthotic to meet the needs of each individual patient.
