  • Bunions (Hallux Valgus/Hallux Abducto Valgus)


    A bump that develops on the inner side of the foot, resulting in the big toe turning inward toward (and in extreme cases, overlapping) the second toe. Custom fitted orthotics help balance the foot, can relieve pain caused by bunions and may prevent bunions from getting worse.

  • Neuroma/Morton's


    A soft mass tissue that forms between the metatarsals at the ball of the foot, caused by pinching of a nerve between two metatarsal bones when they rub together. Custom fitted orthotics can help prevent the metatarsals from rubbing together, provide extra padding for the ball of the foot, and help stabilize the foot and arch. Severe cases should be consulted by a doctor.
