Who can benefit from Orthotics?

Available over the counter or prescribed by podiatrists, orthotics properly align your feet to avoid and treat injuries. About 25 percent of people have a normal running pattern–their foot pronates just enough to absorb shock. The rest of the running population overpronates or underpronates, meaning their foot turns too much or not enough at heel-strike. Orthotics can correct these imbalances by adjusting the angles at which the foot strikes the ground. And that’s just the beginning. Orthotics are often considered the cure-all for just about any kind of lower-body, running-related injury, says sports podiatrist Richard Braver, D.P.M. They are used to treat plantar fasciitis (heel pain), chronic blisters, shinsplints, and leg-length discrepancies. “Orthotics can prevent and cure a problem by reducing and eliminating the stress that caused it,” Braver says.
