are the only medical professionals who exclusively

specialize in treating the foot and ankle.

Orthotics are insoles custom-made from molds taken

of the feet. Orthotics will correct the way the foot

moves and reacts between the ground and the person's

weight. They will posturally align the feet and the body

while eliminating abnormal forces, which if left untreated,

can lead to problems such as heel or arch pain, bunions,

as well as problems with the legs, knees, hips, and back.

Podiatry is normally covered by most private insurances.
