Orthotics: Yay or Nay?

Are orthotics the miracle solution you’ve been waiting for, or just an overpriced band-aid?

The answer: it depends.

Orthotics can be game-changers for certain conditions, like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or chronic knee pain. But slapping a custom insert into your shoes without addressing the underlying problem is like patching a leaky pipe with duct tape—it works for a while, but the issue’s still there.

At Dynamic Edge, we look at the big picture. Do you truly need orthotics, or would strengthening and mobilizing your feet resolve the problem? We’ll help you figure it out so you’re not wasting money or making things worse.
