Ankle, Knee, Hip and Back Pain

You may not realize it, but the pain you feel in your ankles, knees, hips or even back may stem from misalignment of your feet. When the feet are not carrying your weight correctly, it can cause many of your other major joints to be misaligned as well. Orthotics are useful in correcting the alignment of your feet, and redistributing your weight effectively, alleviating foot pain. But the use of these devices can also help to realign the improper way that your other joints bear weight as well. This can in turn help alleviate some of the pain you may be feeling in these joints.
