An orthotic is a supportive device which is placed inside footwear. It works while you do daily activities such as walking, running and standing. The orthotic device actually changes the way your foot works and be comfortable at the same time. Dr. Farinelli has this technology and the knowledge of how to properly examine the feet to see if there are any structural faults, that can be the root of chronic foot, knee, hip, back or neck pain. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
