Orthotics are devices specially designed and made to act on the human body to correct position and in most cases reduce pain or prevent injury.  Even though they describe devices for ant body part orthotics are commonly associated wit the feet as the most common orthotic type are foot orthotics.

Also, incorrectly, referred to as insoles or arch supports, foot orthotics are design to control the negative forces that are applied to the body via standing, walking or exercise.  These negative forces can cause injury as well as prevent healing of injury.  The correct assessment of your mechanics is paramount in correctly providing orthotics for injury or painful conditions of the foot, leg or even lower back.
