1. A functional orthotic – is designed to alter the function of the entire lower extremity. This orthotic is made for a foot that does not function properly.
These orthotics are made from a foam mold impression. This will show a 3 dimensional view of the foot in a subtalar neutral position eliminating sublatar joint pronation. They are also recommended for supination to support the plantar fascia, helping to eliminate plantar fascitis, heel spurs, back and knee pain.
2. An accommodative orthotic – is designed to evenly distribute weight over the entire weight bearing surface of the foot. This reduces stress to prominent areas of the foot.
In more moderate cases of pronation, your doctor may recommend Spine Align Orthotics.
