There are a lot of myths out there when it comes to foot health and care. Many people believe that custom orthotics will weaken the muscles in the feet or make the feet “lazy.”
However, if you require custom orthotics there is typically an issue with the biomechanics or how the muscles of the feet are being used. The goal of custom-made orthotics is to promote the use of the correct muscles during walking. The orthotic is used to support the foot to allow the foot to move more efficiently, in hopes of reducing fatigue and pain.
