Pedorthics

Pedorthics is a healthcare specialty focused on designing, modifying, and fitting footwear and orthotic devices to alleviate foot and lower limb issues. Pedorthists assess how shoes and supportive devices can improve comfort, reduce pain, and enhance mobility, especially for conditions like flat feet, diabetic foot problems, or injuries. They work closely with patients and other healthcare providers to create custom solutions that support proper foot function, prevent injuries, and promote overall well-being. Essentially, pedorthics combines knowledge of biomechanics, footwear, and health to help individuals move more comfortably and safely.
