Custom orthotics are designed to support your feet in their natural position. This reduces stress on your feet, ankles, knees, and hips, which can all lead to lower back pain.

Custom-made foot and ankle orthotics are medical devices inserted into the shoe to correct an abnormal or irregular walking pattern. They work like shock absorbers, removing pressure and stress from painful areas in the foot and ankle.

Unfortunately, when custom orthotics aren't used properly, they can cause more back pain. Contrarily, when used correctly, orthotics will reduce the pain you feel on your back. It is thus essential to get custom-made and well-fitted orthotics and use them properly to prevent pain.

Lumbosacral orthoses (LSOs) are commonly used for the treatment of low back pain (LBP) (1).

Custom orthotics improve your gait and posture by supporting the feet. They also ensure proper weight distribution and reduce the chances of chronic lower back pain. Better and Easier Movement: Custom orthotics are designed to absorb the shock felt by the feet and the leg joints when running or walking.

Low back pain caused by spinal degeneration and injury.

• Muscle or ligament strain. Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.
• Bulging or ruptured disks.
• Arthritis.
• Osteoporosis.
• Ankylosing spondylitis, also called axial spondyloarthritis.

Move. It may be uncomfortable, but one of the best things you can do to deal with lower back pain is to move around. Get on your feet and take a walk. Whether it's a brisk walk around the block or a slow stroll, walking can help to strengthen back muscles, which will improve support for the spine.

Find back pain relief by giving your body a stable base to walk on by wearing supportive insoles. Orthotic insoles help evenly distribute pressure, support the arch of your feet, cradle your heel's natural cushioning and prevent excessive lateral movement.

I bought these for work in a restraunt and they are excellent. My feet used to hurt after a long shift but these really work. Perfect. At first I thought these weren't right for me but after wearing them all day my feet feel amazing!

It may take from three to four weeks before you can wear them comfortably all day. Avoid running or other intense activities with the orthotics until your feet have had an opportunity to adjust to the new foot posture and you can wear them 8 hours a day.
