The 2 U mentioned --: Are generally the 2 main options, (surgery or orthotics). You surgeon should explain it to you. Ask him questions, till u r satisfied. The 3rd option is to live with it, depending on how much you problems u are having? Good luck.

Surgery: should always be your last option as there is no going back after you had the procedure. The conservative option of physical therapy and custom orthotics might work for you. If not then you can always have the procedure done.
